Overview

The JE Pistons Volkswagen 1.8T 20V Piston Kit is a set of four forged pistons designed for high-performance applications. These pistons are engineered, forged, and machined in the USA from 2618 aluminum for high tensile strength.

They feature a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design to minimize friction and power loss, and may include skirt coating to reduce wear and operating noise, along with an accumulator groove to improve ring seal.
