Quick question for anyone who may know regarding the short stroke 77.4mm crankshaft Audi had in the 2.0l 5 cylinders. Does anyone know for certain if the 77.4mm stroke crank, part number 034105021G is cast or forged?
I'm considering buying one for the de-stroked AAN I'm building instead of going with a custom billet crank from Jeff Gerner because of cost, but I'm not sure I want to bother if it's not forged because I'm not sure how a cast crank would handle 9000+rpm with boost dumped on top of that.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
