Eagle Audi/Volkswagen 1.8L Turbo Extreme Duty Connecting Rods (Set of 4)

Forged from 4340 steel, these Eagle H-beam connecting rods are built for extreme duty in your Audi or Volkswagen 1.8L Turbo engine. The H-beam design is a popular choice for high-performance applications because it offers a strong yet relatively lightweight profile, making it ideal for handling the increased stresses of boosted engines. This set includes four rods, weight-matched to ensure consistent balance within your engine's rotating assembly.

These rods feature a two-piece forging and a fully machined, shot-peened, and polished surface finish. The shot-peening process helps to reduce stress risers and improve fatigue life, which is crucial when you're pushing your engine hard. They come equipped with ARP Custom Age 625+ bolts, known for their exceptional strength and reliability under extreme conditions. The sizing is held to exact tolerances, ensuring a precise fit during installation. These are intended for extreme competition use, meaning they are built to withstand the rigors of track days, serious racing, or heavily modified street applications where stock components would likely fail.

When rebuilding or significantly upgrading your 1.8T or 2.0T engine, especially for competition, these connecting rods are a solid option. They are designed to handle significantly more power than factory rods. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper assembly and torque specifications.
