VW Audi VAG 1.8T 20v IE Connecting rods (144x20mm)

IE H-BEAM CONNECTING ROD SET for VAG engines using 144x20mm conrods. Achieve your performance goals with IE H-beam connecting rods that will help to make your build a success. IE Rods are designed for strength and reliability to support performance builds up to 600 horsepower and torque. Engineered to be fairly light weight for a high power to weight ratio making them the perfect choice for aggressive street builds.

NOTE: This 144X20 connecting rod set will only work with factory-equipped pistons that use 20mm wrist pins and non-tapered rods. Many 1.8T 20V (06A) and 2.0T FSI (EA113) engines use a tapered rod, for these engines please see our drop-in rod options if you wish to keep factory pistons. Use the piston fitment guide in the technical specs tab to verify factory piston compatibility
