if you really want new pistons, fcpeuro is probably as good a source as any.

Fcpeuro doesn't carry a b230f piston I have found turbo pistons at several different sources . N/A pistons are proving harder top come by

I decided I was crazy to put my engine back to stock so I'm boring it and putting in a set of flat top pistons. I'm going to try and safely squeeze a bit more power out my old b230/b23 hybrid brick.

you'll probably need to modify the fuel injection to actually GET any more power out of it, the stock systems will run out of flow. you're getting into megasquirt territory, high flow fuel pumps (turbo fuel pump?), higher flow injectors (turbo injectors?) yada yada.
