VW VR6 Compression Reduction Complete Kit 8.5:1 with Sleeve

NEW – Multi-Layer Steel VR6 Compression Reduction

Turbo cylinder head gasket
Manufacturer: Elring / WP-Spezialteile
Multi-layer steel (MLS)
Total thickness: 3.6 mm

This special complete-solution cylinder head gasket for turbo conversions already integrates a coated spacer plate and compression reduction.

The new compression ratio is 8.5:1 (standard: 10:1).

The spacer plate can be reused.

Metal gaskets are characterised by a very long service life.

Includes timing-chain tensioner sleeve.

This version is considerably easier to install than two cylinder head gaskets with a spacer plate.

You save the cost of two cylinder head gaskets and a spacer plate.

Warning: Only for VR6 engines with a turbocharger or supercharger!

When converting to a turbocharger or supercharger, the compression ratio must be reduced. This can be achieved using special pistons or a spacer plate. This allows significantly higher boost pressures and power outputs. Under normal compression ratios, the original pistons may not withstand the resulting temperatures under forced induction.
