No, I didn't balance the pistons. There is only a few grams removed and nearly equal between them. I don't spin the engine much past 5k RPM either. I added them to help the pistons run cooler with the turbo. I am able to run 18-19 PSI on 91 octane pump gas.

FWIW, I also added a higher volume, higher pressure oil pump that I built from turbodiesel parts. Figuring that the combo of turbo and squirters would need the volume, and the higher pressure might allow the rod bearings to tolerate more abuse.
