IE forged drop-in rods upgrade the weak stock units without changing the factory piston.  Strengthen your VW/Audi EA888 Gen 1 & 2 TSI engine for a larger turbo or more boost and keep your engine running reliably.

When increasing the power output of your EA888 2.0T Gen 1 & 2 engine, internal parts begin to fail as they are pushed far beyond their original factory spec limits.  Integrated Engineering Forged Connecting Rods are designed to replace the factory units and take the beating from today's high-output power modifications.  Drive fast and reliably with IE performance rods, guaranteed to support 700HP!

IE drop-in rods are designed to be used with the stock 21mm tapered wrist pin pistons in your engine.  No modification or machine work is required, making for a faster and easier connecting rod upgrade.  Most builds utilizing drop-in rods can be done with the block remaining in the vehicle.  Perfect for engine builders looking to upgrade power beyond stock rod levels, but the power limits of the stock pistons have not been reached.
