Billet Crankshaft Timing Gear VW Audi 1.8T 20V – Solid Steel Timing Pulley
This billet crankshaft timing gear is engineered for high-performance VW and Audi 1.8T 20V turbo engines. It replaces the OEM timing gear, which is a known weak point in modified engines. Manufactured from high-strength steel and precision CNC-machined, it ensures maximum durability and reliable power transmission within the timing system.
Under increased power, high RPM, and aggressive load changes, OEM crankshaft gears can loosen or deform. This often results in timing misalignment, loss of performance, or even severe engine damage. Especially in turbocharged applications, a secure connection between the crankshaft and timing belt system is essential.
Common Issues with OEM Timing Gears
- Sheared keyway on the crankshaft
- Timing gear loosening under high load
- Timing misalignment during load changes
- Valve-to-piston contact leading to engine failure
- Material deformation under increased torque
