The legendary Volkswagen ABF 2.0L 16V engine is renowned for its high-revving nature and motorsport pedigree. Whether you’re building a naturally aspirated screamer or a turbocharged street monster, upgrading the valvetrain is essential for maximizing performance. STK Performance offers industry-leading valve springs and forged performance valves tailored specifically for the ABF platform.
Why Upgrade with STK Performance?
The OEM ABF valvetrain was never intended for extended high RPM use or forced induction. At elevated engine speeds or under high boost, stock components become a limiting factor. STK Performance valve train components are developed to eliminate these limitations with precision engineering, motorsport-grade materials, and proven reliability.
Upgrading to STK Performance valve springs and valves delivers:
- Superior valve control at high RPMs
- Protection against valve float and coil bind
- Compatibility with aggressive camshaft profiles
- Enhanced durability for both NA and turbo applications
