{"product_id":"2-0t-tsi-forged-pistons-82-5mm-83mm","title":"2.0T TSI Forged Pistons 82.5mm \/ 83mm","description":"The IE Spec Mahle pistons are custom-engineered for VW\/Audi 2.0T TSI high-performance engine builds, offering unmatched strength and longevity when paired with IE connecting rods. These pistons utilize a durable forged alloy construction with a proprietary Mahle low-expansion 124P alloy, providing a balance of strength and low-expansion characteristics for quiet, smooth operation. Key features include a Grafal anti-friction skirt coating to reduce friction and wear, and hard-anodized top ring landings to prevent micro-welding and ensure durability.\n\nThese pistons are designed with compression ratios very close to factory specifications (9.5:1 CR for EA888 Gen 1 \u0026amp; 2, and 9.3:1 CR for Gen 3) to avoid knocking issues common with the direct injection system. They are available in two bore sizes: 82.5mm (stock) for a direct drop-in fit, or 83mm (+0.5mm overbore) to increase displacement and allow for precise boring and honing. The 83mm overbore is recommended for most builds to ensure optimal piston-to-cylinder fit and long-term operation.\n\nInstallation requires specific aftermarket connecting rods with a 22mm small-end to accommodate the included high-strength 22mm German steel wrist pins. The pistons feature a factory-style dish on the crown for smooth direct injection operation and include oil squirter notches for proper fitment without modifications.","brand":"IE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688791437624,"sku":"MAH-PVN2","price":997.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/664207986.webp?v=1784896063","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/2-0t-tsi-forged-pistons-82-5mm-83mm","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
