Has anyone done rods on a B7 yet?

Just wondering... The sooner people start building these 2.0ts, the sooner the fun begins

I'm really thinking about it

well, Im trying to get my buddy to man up and do them. We will see if he finally gives in soon or not. Seriously, I remember when B6ers never thought about doing even rods, but now 2.0 setups are getting common. The sooner the B7s get into it the sooner the turbo kits will come

Im looking to do rods in the somewhat near future! Here is a company that has them if you are planning to use the stock piston.

not bad at all, I wonder what the limit is for the stock pistons, I know on most 1.8Ts, it was 500+hp, plenty for most BTs. I see ATP also has a manifold for the transverse FSI guys, Im sure a longitudinal mani is comming soon

My understanding is that they can handle up to 450-500 hp but i could be wrong and i might just replace them as well. If you find out differently id be interested to know.

That pic looks like it was a pic of jc@douglas 2.0t fsi build on fourtitude and the pistons are JE pistons right?

Anything past 350whp and the internals are going to have to be built up.
