I initially rebuilt with just bigger rods and those pistons were necessary as the wristpin diameter is bigger (28mm). At the time I also O-ringed the engine block with copper O rings to help head gasket seal. I decided to use the intake manifold off the OM602.982 engine as it was a much nicer looking design than the older OM602 manifold.
I then tested the engine on my dyno and on my third dyno session after changing to the GTX2867R turbo I started seeing over 300 horsepower but blew a head gasket.
I then changed from 12.9 bolts to ARP2000 studs and MLS head gasket.
I have a little bit of work left to do before the engine goes back in to the car but as far as power goals, I'm there already. 325 horsepower with no visible smoke whatsoever is the current tune. There's a little more left in it, I have a few more things to try out.

The engine is rebuilt with OM602.982 rods, OM601.970 pistons, ARP2000 head studs, OM605.960 MLS head gasket with the cylinder bores ground out to the correct diameter. Compression ratio remains stock, although it may be a tiny bit lower with the MLS gasket since it does not crush like the composite gasket.
