{"product_id":"i-beam-connecting-rods","title":"I-Beam Connecting Rods","description":"The CTS Turbo connecting rods are engineered for performance enthusiasts looking to upgrade their VW MK5, MK6, MK7\/MK7.5, and Audi B8, C7, 8P, 8J, 8V, 8S models, specifically those with 2.0T TSI (EA888 Gen 1, 2, \u0026amp; 3) engines. These rods are crafted from forged 4340 chromoly steel and feature an I-beam design, providing exceptional strength to withstand higher boost pressures from larger turbochargers, ensuring reliability under demanding conditions.\n\nEnhanced lubrication is a key benefit, with rifle drilling increasing the longevity of the wrist pin by allowing for increased oil flow. The I-beam construction offers robust handling of high compressive loads and superior torsional stiffness. CTS Turbo ensures precision with in-house CMM measurement and honing for accurate tolerances, and each connecting rod set is balanced in Canada. These rods utilize genuine ARP 2000 series rod bolts (3\/8″) for secure fastening.\n\nIt is important to note that these connecting rods will not fit the MK8 Golf R or the 8Y Audi S3. The product is also listed for VW\/Audi 2.5L engines (5 cylinder), indicating a broader application range within certain chassis generations.","brand":"CTS Turbo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52867525476664,"sku":"CTS-CRI-14422-5","price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687951899.webp?v=1787911668","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/i-beam-connecting-rods","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
