Our team of experienced motorsport professionals develops many of our tuning parts themselves in our workshop, "Area 51". Every item is tested and further developed on our internal performance test bench until it meets our high standards. In addition, every new product from external manufacturers also goes through our quality control and only enters the store when we would install it in our own mothers' cars. Our quality and safety standards are permanently increased in this way.

Optimum set for 1.8T 20V engines: forged pistons and steel connecting rods
If you want to get up to 650 hp out of your 1.8T 20V engine, this set consisting of forged pistons from MAHLE, X-shaft steel connecting rods from BAR-TEK® ® and ACL racing bearings is just the thing for you.
The standard parts in your Golf 4, Audi TT, Audi S3 and so on are not made for the extreme performance increase. To ensure that your engine can withstand this performance, you should upgrade to our set. With the piston from MAHLE, you can ensure smooth engine running even during the cold start phase. A special alloy enables low running clearance and the special ring zones prevent increased blowby. MAHLE piston are therefore particularly popular in motorsport.
The BAR-TEK® ® conrods with X-shaft are designed to withstand enormous pressure loads. They are absolutely stable and crack-resistant. Our conrods can easily withstand up to 1000 hp power in your 1.8T 20V engine. Of course, the 3/8" ARP 2000 expansion bolts and assembly paste are also included. The set also includes ACL racing bearings, which have an additional bore just like the conrods. Thanks to this hole, the piston pins are optimally lubricated.
Features piston:
Low running clearance possible thanks to special alloy
Smooth engine running even in cold start phase
High performance piston pin
Also for standard bore 81.00 mm
20 mm piston pin
Low blowby due to special ring zones
Anti-friction graphite coating
Mahle High Performance piston rings
Plug & play installation possible
Installation and bore dimensions included
X-shaft features conrods:
Original BAR-TEK®
high-strength milled from solid material
suitable for extreme power increases up to approx. 1000PS
extremely light and very stable
Magnaflux inspected
4 pieces per set
With ARP 2000 expansion bolts 3/8"
ARP assembly paste

Racing bearing
Coated
Extra bore for piston pin
Suitable for: 1.8T 20V engines such as those installed in the Golf 4, Audi TT, Audi S3, Seat Leon and other 1.8T engines.
The specified compression is in conjunction with a cylinder head gasket in standard thickness.
