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

- 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
