1.8T with a T3T4 turbo, boost contoller, larger injectors, fuel pressure regulater, etc.

He is looking at JE Forged set. Is this a good choice?

Thanks,

Carillo rods if you have the money.

Give JRC Motorsports a call, they can get JE pistons for just about any VW/Audi configuration (i.e. custom)

What's this for anyways?

20MM, complete assembly. Its for a 1.8T AWP in a VDub GTI

Well tuned....the stock motor will hold alot of power for a long time.

I've posted that the engine blew a rod through the block. We are installing a new 1000 mile engine and putting all the mods on it. The thought is that the missing link to the mod are the stock piston/rods. The car is when tuned properly over 330 HP (not dynoed yet) Here is the current list of work.

I think I might have meet you and your son at the XX tuning's dyno day.

I run a very similar set up in my vw...

He ordered the set of JE Pistons and Rods from ECS. I just wanted to make sure it was the right choice. At about 1600.00 including the Eurospec Rods, its a lot of his $$...is it being spent right.

Just grab some stock 225 Mahle's...perfect for what you need...
