ARP 82.0mm Ring Compressor for 2004-2010 VW/Audi 2.0 TFSI Engines
The ARP 82.0mm Ring Compressor delivers precision for piston installation in VW and Audi 2.0 TFSI engines with 82mm bores. This tapered tool compresses rings evenly during assembly for proper seating maximum compression and reliable power on EA113 platforms. Engine builders count on it for rebuilds performance upgrades and consistent results.
Key Features
- 82.0mm Exact Bore Match: Matches stock cylinder sizes on VW/Audi 2.0 TFSI engines to avoid slippage uneven compression or install errors
- Tapered One-Piece Design: Applies gradual pressure to rings minimizing force needed and protecting ring lands from damage
- Billet Aluminum Construction: Weighs just 0.4 lbs with high rigidity for daily shop use and no deformation over time
- Angled Taper Profile: Allows smooth piston entry with stock or aftermarket pistons speeding up assembly time
- ARP Engineering Precision: Tight machining tolerances deliver dependable ring control in high-performance engine projects
Product Notes
- Apply light oil to taper surface for friction-free piston insertion
- Verify piston ring gap and bore cleanliness prior to use
- Stores compactly in toolboxes measuring 6 x 4 x 1 inches
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Position compressor fully over cleaned cylinder bore before inserting piston
- Works with all standard 82mm piston ring sets and wrist pin circlips

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...
