What material are these pistons made from and why is it important?

These pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum. This material is chosen for its high tensile strength, which is crucial for handling the increased pressures and temperatures found in high-performance or modified engines where stock cast pistons might fail.

What is the benefit of the Forged Side Relief (FSR) design?

The FSR design helps to minimize friction and reduce power loss by allowing for a narrower skirt width. It also contributes to weight savings by utilizing a shorter wrist pin, making the piston assembly lighter and more responsive.

Are these pistons compatible with all 2.0T engines?

This specific kit is designed for the VW 2.0T FSI engine found in certain Audi and Volkswagen models from approximately 2005 to 2008. It is important to verify fitment for your specific vehicle's engine code and year, as other 2.0T variants exist.

They use a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design, which helps reduce friction and skirt wear, and they've also included an accumulator groove to improve ring seal and reduce flutter. Depending on the specific application, you might also find a skirt coating to further cut down on friction and noise, and they come with high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings to ensure a complete and well-sealed assembly.

This kit includes four pistons, each with a 3.268-inch bore size and a 20mm pin diameter, designed specifically for the VW 2.0T FSI engine. Remember, these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For a complete rebuild, make sure you have all the necessary gaskets, seals, and fluids on hand.
