Overview

The CTS Turbo JE pistons are designed for the DAZA/DNWA 2.5T engine. These pistons feature a 9.3:1 compression ratio, which is 0.7 lower than the factory setting, allowing for increased boost and power without compromising off-boost performance. Manufactured by JE Pistons in the USA, they incorporate JE's patented Perfect Skirt coating to minimize noise and wear.

These pistons are constructed from ultra-strong 2618-alloy and are compatible with both factory APS cylinder walls and aftermarket iron sleeves. Each set includes pistons, 22mm heavy-duty wrist pins, piston rings, and pin clips. They are intended for use with CTS-CRI-14422-5 connecting rods.
Show original supplier description
The CTS Turbo JE Pistons are high-performance engine internals engineered for the DAZA/DNWA 2.5T engine, specifically designed to meet CTS's specifications. These pistons feature a 9.3:1 compression ratio, a slight reduction from the factory 10:1, which is ideal for tuners looking to run higher boost levels and achieve greater power output while maintaining good off-boost drivability. Crafted from an ultra-strong 2618-alloy by JE Pistons in the USA, these components represent the latest in piston technology. This makes them suitable for demanding builds. These pistons are compatible with both factory APS cylinder walls and aftermarket iron sleeves, offering flexibility in engine builds. The set comes complete with pistons, 22mm heavy-duty wrist pins, piston rings, and pin clips. For optimal performance and fitment, these pistons are recommended for use with CTS-CRI-14422-5 connecting rods. Fitment is confirmed for the 2016-2021 Audi RS3 and the 2017-2021 Audi TT-RS models equipped with the 2.5T DAZA & DNWA engines.
