Pauter 155/23 4340 Chrome Moly Cross-Beam Connecting Rod Set is designed and engineered for Audi & Volkswagen EA888.4 2.0 TFSI Turbocharged Engines. Forged from 4340 Chrome Moly, their unique cross-beam design rod structure has proven extremely strong and reliable. Sold as a set of four, balanced end-to-end, ready to install.

Pauter Rods are designed to accept OEM rod bearings and utilize a tapered small end to work with OE pistons with an aluminum-bronze wrist pin bushing. Supplied with ARP 2000 bolts with a rating of 220,000psi tensile strength for substantially more strength than factory rods.
