JE Pistons VW 1.8T 20V 8.5 KIT Set of 4 Pistons

If you're looking to build a serious performance engine for your 1.8T 20V Audi or Volkswagen, JE Pistons has you covered with this set of four forged pistons. These aren't your average pistons; they're built with over 75 years of racing experience behind them, designed specifically for engines like the 1.8T found in many Audi A4, TT, and Volkswagen Golf and Beetle models. They offer a robust 8.5:1 compression ratio, making them a solid choice for boosted applications where you need reliable power under demanding conditions.

JE Pistons uses a proprietary forged side relief (FSR) design, which helps minimize friction and reduce weight by using a shorter wrist pin and narrower skirt. This means less power is lost to internal friction, and the overall assembly is lighter. They're forged from 2618 aluminum right here in the USA, a material known for its high tensile strength, which is crucial for handling the intense pressures and heat of a performance engine. Depending on the specific application, these pistons may also feature an accumulator groove to improve ring seal and a skirt coating to further reduce friction, wear, and noise.

This kit comes complete with everything you need to get your engine rebuilt: the four pistons, high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE's Pro Seal premium piston rings. They are designed as a direct replacement for the stock pistons, ensuring a proper fit during installation. Please note that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
