Wiseco 1.8 16V Forged piston KR / PL VW Golf 2 GTI Corrado Passat

Wiseco Forged piston for the 16V KR PL

Made in USA

The forged pistons are recommended from an output of 200 hp.

Thanks to the high-quality aluminum alloy, the pistons are lighter, more stable, more temperature-resistant and can withstand higher loads than standard pistons.
All pistons are coated with a special Wiseco ArmorGlide coating.

Due to the reduction in compression, significantly higher pressures can be achieved than with the standard pistons. It should also be noted that the webs between the piston rings are 5-8 mm wide (instead of only 3-5 mm as with other pistons). This is crucial for high boost pressures.

You can opt for the following options:

Compression ratio8.0:1
81.00 / 81.50 / 82.00mm

Compression ratio8.8:1
81.00 / 81.50 / 82.00mm
