Wiseco, CP, JE, etc will all make legal IT forged pistons for you, albeit at the custom piston price of ~$550-$650/set. Just need to send them the specs or find a VW race shop that has done it before and ordering will be snap.

2013 ITA NARRC Champion and I have not raced since.
I have a seto f the 8.5 pistons coming. I think that I can get the compression back up to about 9.8 to one, with .026 off the block and the head @ 132.5mm,and a 054 head gasket. I will CC the setup and let everyone know. Is it IT legal?, maybe.
Not as fast as the 11/1 cars running, but it may run on pump gas.
The Chumpcar thing is getting so big that I need more cars. The engine parts are very scarce for the Mk 1 and Mk 2 VW now. Try to buy a 1.6 block??
Try to buy any 20 yr old engines or parts..

Everyone, I think these pistons are exactly what everyone is looking for. However, they could dry-up at any moment. None of these pistons exist in the U.S. (I bought the last 4) and only 100 or so exist in Europe. But, the AmBoss guys will get them for you from Europe as long as they exist. Here is the information that you need to order them:
Mahle Piston Number: 0347513
.40 over, 10:1 Cast pistons
Distributed by AmBoss: (203) 380-2466
Talk to Tristan or Brian
The pistons are $55 dollars each. Mike, these are "3 penny" pistons.
I have included some pictures . . . Good Luck!

Summit Racing had some pistons that do not appear in their standard catalog if you search by vehicle. The reason I did not try these last time I was shopping was the listings were not 100% clear as to what compression/engine code each was for. A call to them may help clarify. Techtonics Tuning usually lists what you are looking for but they are not cheap.
Pistons came. 8.5 to one. "Silvolite" made in MX. no rings.
Deck the block 032, deck the head to 132mm. Should hit right about 10/1 done.

Hey there - check out the following and let me know if you might be interested. These are sitting on a shelf in my garage as I went a different direction on the project I was working on.

Those look like 8.5 to 1.

BlackVR6GTI whats the part number on the box of those pistons?
I'll check the box for a part number when I get home. They are in fact 8.5:1 pistons though - that much I know.
As an aside I'm running almost 11:1 on 93octane pump gas without issue...
