JE Pistons 08+ VW 2.0T TSI 83.0mm Bore 9.6:1 CR -7.8cc Dome Asymmetric Piston w/ 23mm Pin (Set of 4)

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 2008 and up Volkswagen 2.0T TSI, especially if you're looking to push the performance envelope, a solid set of pistons is crucial. These JE Pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum, a material chosen for its high tensile strength, which is exactly what you need when you're demanding more from your engine. They're designed specifically for the 2.0T TSI engine, meaning they'll fit right and work with the engine's natural characteristics.

JE Pistons has been in the game for over 75 years, and they build these right here in the USA. They use a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design that helps reduce friction and skirt width, saving weight and improving efficiency. Depending on the specific application, you might also find an accumulator groove to help reduce combustion gas pressure, leading to better ring seal and more consistent power. Some applications also include a skirt coating to further cut down on friction and wear, which also helps quiet things down a bit. This set comes complete with high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE's Pro Seal premium piston rings, so you have the essential components for a proper rebuild.

This kit is designed for an 83.0mm bore and a 9.6:1 compression ratio, with an inverted dome that accounts for -7.8cc. The 23mm pin is a common size for these engines. Keep in mind these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For a serious engine build on your VW 2.0T TSI, these JE Pistons offer a well-built foundation.
