034 Motorsports Pauter 4340 Chromoly Cross-Beam Connecting Rod Set for Audi 3.0T 2017+

If you're looking to push your Audi's 3.0T turbocharged engine to the next level, these Pauter connecting rods are a solid choice. Built from 4340 Chrome Moly, they bring some serious strength to the table. The cross-beam design isn't just for looks; it’s engineered for reliability, giving you the confidence to crank up the power without worrying about the rods giving out.

This set comes with six rods, all balanced end-to-end, so you can drop them right into your engine without any fuss. They’re designed to work seamlessly with OEM rod bearings, and the tapered small end ensures compatibility with your stock pistons. Plus, these rods are fitted with aluminum-bronze wrist pin bushings, which adds to their durability.

What really sets these rods apart is the ARP 2000 bolts they come with. These bolts are rated at a whopping 220,000 psi tensile strength—way stronger than what you’ll find in factory rods. So, if you’re planning on cranking up the boost or revving past 7,500 RPM, these rods are a necessary upgrade. They can handle the torque too, rated for 200 ft-lb per rod at the engine. That’s peace of mind when you’re pushing your car to its limits.
