Wait, doesn't the USDM evo encyclopedia say that we get cast aluminum pistions? Is this a mistake by the mag or another cost cutting measure?

I checked that magazine again...and of course it's in Chinese.

They said it's "lighter, strengthened forged aluminum" piston. However, that is not a car magazine...so their source "might" be incorrect
