Has anyone rebuilt the short block on a 1.8T with uprated components? If so, which rods, rings and pistons did you use?

Default No, but if I were going to, I'd stroke the motor to 2.0 liters.
If you're planning on new rods and pistons anyways, why not spend the extra on a crank as well?
You can get all the stuff custom, but it's pretty expensive (Crower can do a custom one for any motor for the low price of $4000) I know Dahlback has a kit as well, but not sure how much it is. I would think that there are others out there, it's just a matter of finding them. You'll probably need a custom ECU program as well though.

Lucas has. APR may or may not sell the pistons and rods to you without a Stage 4 kit.

You can use JE pistons. They make 3 different pistons for our 1.8t.

Another solution to putting your 1.8T in the 280 to 360hp range.
