ARP Main Stud Kit For 77-06 VW/Audi/BMW 1.8T/2.0L Engines 06A block M10/S14

Whether you're performing a factory-level engine overhaul or pushing the limits with high-compression builds or heavy boost, ARP main studs are an essential upgrade. Known for their unmatched strength and reliability, ARP fasteners deliver where factory hardware falls short. With a tensile strength of 200,000 PSI, this main stud kit for VW/Audi 06A 1.8T and 2.0L engines is designed to eliminate main cap walk and fretting, all while protecting the threads in your block. Engineered for high-performance and longevity, these studs are a must-have for serious engine builders looking for durability under extreme conditions.

Manufactured in the U.S.A. from premium 8740 alloy steel, ARP studs are heat-treated and thread-rolled after treatment for optimal fatigue strength—up to 20 times stronger than lesser studs that are threaded before heat treating. This process results in a fastener that’s not only incredibly strong but also reusable, making it ideal for repeated use in performance applications. ARP’s commitment to quality has made them a trusted name in motorsports, and their main stud kits are widely respected by tuners and race teams alike. Note: align honing is required before installation for proper fitment.
