ARP Head Studs

Does ARP make studs for the 2.0 PD TDI.And if so,does anyone know the part number?thanx

If they do, they will be big bux and good for 40 psi boost.
Why the need?

Whitbread has H11 head studs for these. ARP doesn't have a kit.

Unless you are building a monster engine and pushing really high boost pressure (35 PSI plus, maybe more), OEM PD150 head bolts work great and are comparatively cheap. I've been running them in my PD with a 29 PSI tune and spikes north of 30 for a long time with no issues. I can count the TDI club member North American PDs that actually need more than the PD150s on one hand.

There are part numbers floating around for a pieced together set that you can run. I think the last time I priced it out it was about 200 for the studs, nuts, and washers. Only issue is you have to have the nuts machined down to clear the cam caps.

If there was a set available for that price that was ready to run I would be in line even if I didnt actually need them. Peace of mind is priceless in my book. However, I have seen the pd150 bolts hold quite well in most situations and for 70 bux its a darn good deal.

I have ARP 8740 head stud kits for PDs. See my vendor thread. 8740 is 190kpsi, pd150 bolts are 12.9 which is 170-174kpsi. Stock 10.9 bolts are 136kpsi.
