VW 1.8T & 2.0 TFSI Steel Block Brace – 10 mm

10 mm Girdle Plate for VW 1.8T 20V Turbo & 2.0 TFSI EA113 – incl. 12.9 Bolt Kit

Our high-strength girdle plate is specifically designed for the popular and powerful VW 1.8T 20V Turbo and 2.0 TFSI EA113 engines. Thanks to its smart design, it fits both engine types and provides maximum stability in high-performance applications – ideal for tuned engines over 600 HP.

Key Features:

• Material thickness: 10 mm high-strength steel
• Includes 12.9-grade bolts with washers
• Compatible with all 1.8T 20V & 2.0 TFSI EA113 engines
• Prevents crankcase flex and stabilizes the bottom end
• Integrated oil separator for clean crankcase ventilation
• Suitable for power ranges from 600 to 1000 HP

Technical Background:

High-performance 4-cylinder turbo engines are prone to severe crankcase distortion. Without reinforcement, this can lead to major engine damage: crankshaft failure, bearing damage, misalignment of the bearing seats, or even block cracking. This girdle plate significantly reduces such risks.

Included in the Kit:

• 1x 10 mm girdle plate
• 12x 12.9-grade bolts with washers
• 1x extended oil pump drive chain
• 1x set of extended oil pan bolts
• 10x spacer sleeves (adjustable according to individual tolerances)

Note:

Installation must be carried out by qualified professionals. Spacer sleeves must be custom-fitted per engine. Not recommended for stock engines without modification.
