The ring lands is the biggest difference. On the turbo pistons, the ring lands are farther down the skirt to help with heat dissipation and the rings themselves are wider. And if I remember correctly, the turbo piston crowns are treated or made from a different material.

If it was just the compression ratio that was different, people would have been running NT pistons as an upgrade instead of 2g.

But, that being said, it's also not hard at all to just pop in a set of turbo pistons and be done.

GL with sale as a complete 6-bolt motor that runs is worth that.
