Integrated engineering do lots of stuff for the 1.8t, including forged con rods, you'll need the 19mm wrist pin ones. Pistons I would leave as they are, I believe aum pistons are forged anyway, I know agu and bam ones are.

100% the agu pistons are forged??? :shocked:

From what I've seen the oem forged pistons are good for around 450-500bhp. But if I was close to this mark I'd want a set of bam ones, lower compression ratio and 20mm wrist pins.
