ARP 82.5mm Ring Compressor for 2006-2016 VW/Audi 2.0T Engines

ARP 82.5mm ring compressor squeezes piston rings evenly during installation into 82.5mm bores found in VW and Audi 2.0T FSI/TFSI engines. This tool prevents ring damage and ensures proper sealing for high-performance rebuilds and upgrades. Built for repeated use in street and track engine projects.

Key Features

  • Exact 82.5mm Sizing: Matches VW/Audi 2.0T cylinder bores for secure ring compression without flare or slippage
  • CNC Machined Aluminum: 6061-T6 construction resists wear and delivers consistent pressure over multiple builds
  • Tapered Sleeve Design: Smooth taper applies gradual force to rings protecting them during piston insertion
  • Wrist Pin Relief: Cutout allows easy piston alignment and handling in tight engine bays
  • Clear Size Marking: Engraved 82.5mm ID prevents mix-ups in tool kits during assembly

Product Notes

  • Verify engine bore measures 82.5mm prior to use
  • Pair with assembly lube on rings for optimal slide-in
  • Compact size stores easily with other ARP tools

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Clean cylinder walls and gap rings to spec before compressing
  • Use even pressure and tap piston gently into place

ARP

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) is the world’s premier manufacturer of high-strength engine and driveline fasteners—head studs and bolts, main studs, rod bolts, and more—engineered and manufactured in-house from start to finish for race-proven reliability. With vertically integrated processes that include cold heading, machining, heat-treating, thread rolling after heat treat, and rigorous QA, ARP maintains aerospace-level certifications (ISO 9001 and AS9100) and validates every part for repeatable clamp load and fatigue resistance. Signature alloys such as 8740 chromoly, ARP2000, L19, and Custom Age 625+ deliver ultimate tensile strengths up to the super-alloy range, while ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant helps achieve consistent pre-load during installation. From street performance builds to professional motorsport programs, ARP fasteners provide precise fitment, superior metallurgy, and the durability needed to keep engines together at elevated cylinder pressures and...

ARP Head Studs

ARP Head Studs

ARP head studs replace factory head bolts with precision-machined threaded studs that provide more consistent and repeatable clamping force on the cylinder head gasket. Unlike head bolts that apply torque through both rotational and tensile forces, head studs allow the nut to be torqued concentrically on a stud that is already stationary, producing more even clamping load across the entire head gasket surface. Popular ARP Head Stud Applications ARP head studs are available for a wide range of performance and turbocharged engines including the Subaru EJ series, Honda K series and B series, Mitsubishi 4G63 and 4B11, Honda Civic and Integra, Toyota 2JZ-GTE, Nissan SR20DET and RB series, GM LS series, Ford Coyote and 5.0, and Dodge/Chrysler HEMI applications. ARP offers both 8740 chromoly and ARP2000 alloy head stud kits, with the ARP2000 material providing approximately 20 percent higher tensile strength for high-boost applications above 30 psi. Why are head studs preferred over head b...

Fabrication

Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...
