JE Pistons AUDI 1.8T 8.5:1 KIT Set of 4 Pistons

If you're rebuilding the engine in your Audi or VW 1.8T 20V and looking to handle more boost or improve durability, a set of forged pistons is a smart move. These pistons from JE Pistons are built specifically for the 1.8T engine and feature an 8.5:1 compression ratio, making them well-suited for boosted applications where you need to manage detonation.

JE Pistons has been making performance pistons for a long time, and they forge these right here in the USA from 2618 aluminum. This material offers the high tensile strength you need when you're pushing an engine hard. They've incorporated their proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design, which helps reduce friction and save weight by using a shorter wrist pin and narrower skirt. Depending on the specific application, you might also find an accumulator groove to help manage combustion gas pressure, leading to better ring seal, and a skirt coating to cut down on friction and noise.

This kit comes complete with everything you need to get your engine back together: four pistons, high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE's Pro Seal premium piston rings. Just remember, these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper fitment and assembly procedures.
