Piston oilers/jets

Just wondering if all early B6 engines had piston oilers/jets as standard. On pulling apart my replacement engine I have them and was wondering if they are stock or if the previous owner has them put in when the turbo was installed?
Cheers.

Stock
Little benefit from the engines original turbo days.

I remove them for high performance N/A applications, not needed.

Pistons don't get hot enough?
A follow on question if so. If the pistons were ceramic coated the requirement for the oil jets would be even less?

In an N/A application the piston is kept cool enough, and there is plenty of oil floating about without the squirters. With a friction coating on the skirts the requirement is less, and anything that causes less heat transfer.
