Thinking about cranking up the power on your VW or Audi 2.0T TSI? You’re gonna want to swap out those stock connecting rods for something that can handle the heat. Enter the IE forged connecting rods—these bad boys are built to keep your engine intact when you start pushing the limits.

What Makes These Rods Stand Out?

• 20mm Wrist Pin: These rods work seamlessly with all aftermarket 20mm pistons, and they even fit some stock pistons if you're not ready to go full aftermarket yet.
• Strong as Steel: Made from vacuum-drawn 4340 chrome moly steel, these rods are forged for toughness. No flimsy parts here.
• H Beam Design: This isn’t just a fancy term—this upgraded design means a serious boost in strength and durability. You can feel confident pushing your engine harder.
• Tested to 700HP: Yeah, you read that right. These rods have been tested on four-cylinder engines up to 700 horsepower. That’s some serious power handling.
• ARP 2000 Rod Bolts: Each set comes with bolts that are stamped with "IE" to ensure you’re getting the real deal. These bolts are tough and designed for high performance.
• Precision Engineering: Each rod is computer-optimized for specific VW/Audi applications and honed to within 250 millionths of an inch. Talk about attention to detail!
• Optional Forced Pin Oiling: If you want to extend the life of your wrist pins, you can opt for the rifle drilling. It’s a solid choice for those who are serious about longevity.
• Balanced to Perfection: Each set is balanced to within +/- 1 gram. That means smoother operation and less wear on your engine.
• Rigorous Inspections: These rods undergo dimensional and magnaflux inspections to ensure they’re ready for whatever you throw at them.
• Heat Treated: Multi-stage heat treatment gives these rods dimensional stability and better fatigue life. They’re built to last.
