I have 88mm (machine in) cylinders in my bug. The were still available
a couple years ago.

Do you mean you have 88mm machine-in pistons that are designed for long
strokes? I was reading up on this subject and I could only find one
post that mentioned the existence of 88mm "B" pistons and that they are
no longer made. I guess the 90.5's probably do the trick pretty well
for the same price.

Like I said, I bought mine a couple years ago but I've often wondered if
90.5mm would have been a better way to go. I'm happy with what I have
so I have no regrets.

Are you referring to stroke or first oversize bore pistons?

Wasn't clear, sorry.
Stroke.
