Default Supertech piston question

Do the supertech pistons have a provision for the piston squirters or will the squirters need to be removed and passages blocked?

I would sure hope they do, otherwise they don't know how to design pistons. Why not go with JE or Wiseco?

I seem to recall hearing about one of the pistons out there not working with the squirters, just wanted to double check. This was a while back and I might have been mistaken.

Why not JE or Wiseco? Cost would be the largest factor...well pretty much the only factor. I know going cheap on engine internals isn't the wisest decision, but the Subaru guys seem happy with them so I figure I'd give them a shot. I'm sure they are better than stock BP pistons.

Those are like 10 bux more than Belfab is selling the Supertechs for and they even come with rings!! I'm stuck on which to buy myself.
