If you’re looking to really push the limits of your VW or Audi’s EA113 FSI engine, let me tell you about the IE forged drop-in rods. These aren’t just any connecting rods; they’re a serious upgrade from the weak stock units, and the best part? You can keep your factory pistons. It’s a smart way to beef up your engine without starting from scratch.

Now, if you’ve ever cranked up the boost or swapped in a larger turbo, you know that the factory internals can struggle to keep up. That’s where these Integrated Engineering Forged Connecting Rods come into play. They’re built to handle the extra power that comes with today’s high-output mods, and they’re proven to support up to 700HP. So whether you’re hitting the track or just want to enjoy a spirited drive, you can do so with confidence.

These rods are forged from vacuum drawn 2-piece 4340 chrome moly steel, giving them the strength and durability to withstand some serious abuse. The upgraded H beam design is a game changer, significantly enhancing their resilience. Each rod is meticulously honed to exacting tolerances—think within 250 millionths of an inch—ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance.

What’s more, they come with IE Spec ARP 2000 rod bolts, stamped with "IE" to guarantee authenticity. This isn’t just marketing fluff; it’s about knowing you’re getting a product that’s been individually optimized for your specific VW or Audi engine application. And if you’re really looking to extend the life of your wrist pins, there’s an optional forced pin oiling feature that you might want to consider.

These rods are balanced to within +/- 1 gram, which is critical for a smooth-running engine, and they’ve undergone multi-stage heat treatment for added dimensional stability and fatigue resistance. Plus, they’re dimensionally and magnaflux inspected, so you know they’re built to last.

As for fitment, these rods are compatible with a range of models including:

• AUDI - A4 (2005-2008) 2.0T EA113 TFSI
• AUDI - A6 (2005-2011) 2.0T EA113 TFSI
• AUDI - TT (2008-2015) 2.0T EA113 TFSI
• VW - GTI (2006-2009) 2.0T EA113 FSI
• VW - Jetta (2006-2010) 2.0T EA113 FSI
• And more, covering various engine codes like BUL, BWA, BWE, BWT, and BYK.

Just a heads up: these rods fit stock pistons with 20mm tapered wrist pins only. And remember, the pictures you see are for marketing purposes, so the actual product might look a bit different.

In short, if you’re serious about tuning your EA113 engine, these IE forged drop-in rods are a solid investment. They’ll help you drive fast, drive hard, and most importantly, drive reliably.
