Coating the piston's crown and top will cause heat reflectivity, driving a percentage of any detonation energy back into the fuel burn zone, to increase fuel burn efficiency. It will also lower carbon buildup, which reduces detonation quality, as it builds up on the piston's crown and increases the risk of detonation damage to the piston crown surface. By protecting the crown and land diameter surfaces, it will allow for a leaner fuel mixture.
Piston skirts can be coated to create an excellent dry sliding surface during engine start-up and will help eliminate skirt slap during initial engine run-in. Using a dry coating will fight against scuffing and abrasion of the piston skirt during its stroke travel inside the engine block cylinder. The inside of the piston can also be coated with an oil-shedding coating to cut parasitic drag and return oil to the sump faster. Ceramic coatings can also be applied over the piston ring contact face of OEM hard chromium, which provides lowering friction between the ring face and cylinder inner bore surface scuffing, and also improves wear resistance.

Lol I wish! Maybe if I quit drinkin so much lol
The diffs not all I had hoped it would be in straight lines but that could be down to the non existant gearbox mount I have so ordered em Toy tunning ones today to see how that goes.
lol.yea a few mates told me that allright they said of the money ur gona spend on a diff ur gona be disapointed! all u realy notice it on track like coming out of corners etc! so that sorta put me off..

Mine is Quaife, its completly silent in all situations. I do have more grip in 2nd gear and I can launch in 1st much more easily without spinning but my god when u do over step the mark the car pulls u everywhere lol, just a learning curve.
In corners its absolutly superb.
I would expect the coating to need replaced now and again but its taken me 2 and a half years to do 5k miles lol! I only use it when I want a little satisfaction, the Octavia is my everyday car.

and do you have quotes how much it would cost to do 4 pistons?

Whats the point you may aswell fit forged ones to start with considering the cost of coating etc and when they are already removed. Plus the coating will only last ~5k its an absolute no brainer in my eyes....
