thanks.. if u guys can let me know if these are the right pistons i need.. and what are the matching rods i would need for this.. thanks again!

[romell]

anybody?

[Condo]

Those should work and you would need to get some Scat rods with 20mm wrist pins. You wouldn't need to upgrade the pistons if you're still just going with the GTRS. You could do just rods for some insurance if you wanted.

[romell]

well was going to do the rods and pistons.. for the 3076 if i ever changed my mind.. u know? i figured.. hell... if im gonna do rods for a little it of security.. might as well do pistons... then the ARP studs. u know.

[Condo]

I guess you might as well do it while you're in there.

Romell, unless your pistons are damaged or you are increasing your bore size, there is no real reason to replace them.

If you are looking to strengthen the bottom end of your motor, you can go with Integrated Engineering forged rods and retain the OEM pistons.

The rods can be replaced in your motor without removing it from the car, just make sure you use the correct rod bearings so you do not have to do it twice. The IE rods are designed to work with OEM Audi TT225 rod bearings.

If you are palnning on upgrading the rods, while the head is off the car, I would upgrade the exhaust valves too.

[romell]

so i get the audi tt225 rod bearings and the ie rods and just drop them in or what? caused i dont know what exactloy to get and etc etc. can someone ehelp me with that... and with the stock pistons and the IE/Scat rods at 19mm that can def handle GTRS boost at 25 lbs right? and second could that handle a gt3076 or gt3071

[romell]

and bout the pistons... are thos OEM pistons.. or some cheap chinese made knockoffs

[F16HTON]

Yes

[AudiA4_20T]

Romell, dont worry about the pistons... Get IntegratedEngineering rods, new rod bearings and an OEM ringset

[F16HTON]

great advice

[romell]

cool.. exactly which ones do ineed.. which rods.. which bearings and which ring set. can u tel me exact sizing and etc. and what else iw oudl need to complete the install... should i get the ARP studs that issam is selling also? and new head gasets and etc?

[AudiA4Turbo22]

so how much do u guys think this will all cost??

[romell]

hopefully not a lot....

Hey Romell, I'm going to do a GTRS with rods also. I was looking on genuinevwaudiparts.com on this is what I got. And wondering am I missing anything?

piston rings ( 1 piston) $76 x 4 = $296
tt rod bearings $18 x 4 = $72
IE rods w/ 19mm wrist (set) =$380

total for parts = $748

There is no way the rings for just one piston are $76

I remember someone buying the whole OEM set for about $92

That is about how much they cost for the TT225HP model. I'm not sure how much they cost for the B6 AMB.

I know it sounds expensive for 1 piston, I coudn't find a piston ring set for the 1.8T and for the 3.0L it says: "Includes rings for one piston" = $78. So I assume the $76 in the 1.8T section is for one piston also. Maybe I'm just retarded or something...and the tt rod bearings are $8 for 1/2 a bearing.

Martin, you can find cheaper rings, and I would step up to coated rod bearings

Clint, I asked Eurocode about this and they said for my setup there wasn't any reason to go with the coated bearings. They said the stock bearings will work just fine.

[dougyfresh]

I don't have coated bearings in my engine.

[FourRings80]

Yeah, dont think its necessary. But hey for $40 it might be a good idea. 034 have piston rings $44 per piston. Your're right Clint I'll look for cheaper places.
