ARP Main Stud Kit - VW / Audi 2.0 TFSI EA113 - Golf GTI (Mk5) / Golf R (Mk6) / Audi S3 (8P)
This ARP main stud kit suits the 2.0 FSI / TFSI (EA113) engine in the VW Golf GTI Mk5 / Golf R Mk6 / Audi S3 8P. It replaces the factory main cap bolts with studs and nuts, keeping the main caps clamped and located when rpm, boost and cylinder pressure go up.
Studs load the block threads more evenly than bolts and make it easier to line up the caps during assembly.
Before you order: Suits the EA113 2.0 FSI/TFSI engine only, not the later EA888. Check your engine code before ordering.
See the Vehicle Fitment tab for the full list of vehicles.
Note: Installation by a professional is recommended.
