We are excited to announce our 144x20 rifle drilled drop-in connecting rods for 1.8T 20V & 2.0T FSI. Our connecting rods have been engineered for larger turbo and boost applications while maintaining reliability. This is a set of four (4) 144x20 non-tapered connecting rods. These rods are meant to be used with aftermarket pistons that have 20mm wrist pins.  

Rifle Drilled

All CTS connecting rods are rifle drilled as standard.

Honing

All big and small end bores are honed in house on precision equipment to exacting tolerances.

Quality Control

All connecting rods are put through a stringent quality control process including measuring all critical dimensions on our state of the art CMM (coordinate measuring machine). All connecting rods are matched in weights +/- 1 gram.

ARP Bolts

All CTS Turbo connecting rods come standard with genuine ARP 2000 rod bolts.
