JE Pistons VW 2.0T TSI Ultra Series 23mm PIN - Set of 4 Pistons

JE Pistons' Ultra Series pistons start with a unique Aligned Grain Flow forging process, a proprietary method that maximizes tensile strength. This is crucial for handling the extreme cylinder pressures you'll encounter when building a high-horsepower, boosted engine. These aren't your average off-the-shelf pistons; they come packed with features usually found only in custom builds.

You'll find a thermal barrier crown coating, which is a ceramic-based material that reflects heat back into the combustion chamber. This helps keep piston crown temperatures down and can improve how efficiently exhaust gases are scavenged. The skirts are coated to reduce friction and wear against the cylinder walls, which also helps quiet things down, especially during a cold start. For maintaining a solid seal even under high RPM and boost, lateral gas ports are included to help keep the top compression ring seated properly. The included wrist pins are thick-walled and made by Trend Performance, built to handle the rigors of serious performance builds.

This set is specifically designed for the VW 2.0T TSI engine, fitting Euro models from 2013+ and USA models from 2015+. They feature a 3.248-inch bore and use a 23mm wrist pin. Every component in this kit is made 100% in the USA, ensuring solid construction and attention to detail for your performance engine project.
