Supertech VW 2.0T FSI 82.5mm Bore -12.5cc Dish 9:1 CR Pistons - Set of 4 (700HP/33PSI) (Excl Rings)

If you're rebuilding the engine in your VW 2.0T FSI and looking to handle serious power, a set of forged pistons like these from Supertech is a solid foundation. These pistons are designed to replace your stock ones and are built to withstand the demands of high-horsepower applications, specifically rated for up to 700 horsepower and 33 PSI of boost. The 82.5mm bore size is standard for many 2.0T FSI engines, and the -12.5cc dish combined with the piston design results in a 9:1 compression ratio, which is a popular choice for boosted applications seeking a balance between power and reliability.

Forged pistons are significantly stronger than cast pistons because they are made from a single piece of aluminum that's heated and hammered into shape. This process aligns the grain structure of the metal, making them much more resistant to deformation and failure under extreme pressure and heat. Supertech uses high-quality aluminum alloys for these pistons, ensuring they can handle the stress of aggressive driving and high boost levels. It's important to note that these pistons are sold as a set of four and do not include piston rings, so you'll need to source those separately to complete the installation.

When installing these pistons, proper cylinder wall preparation and honing are crucial to ensure a good seal and long life for the engine. It's also recommended to consult your engine builder or a trusted mechanic for specific installation procedures, torque specifications, and ring gap settings, as these can vary based on your overall engine build. Remember, these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
