I dont think any used 21mm wrist pins

Not even the highest output factory 1.8T 240hp had 21mm wrist pins. The 240hp variant used the same rods as a 90hp 4cyl engine from about 20 years earlier. Same rods in the 1988 Audi 80 2.0 4cyl those rods are also in the AEB. Everything I've read indicates that you get 19mm or 20mm wrist pins. I can check this on tuesday but I believe 058 blocks AEB/ATW used 20mm whereas 06A/B blocks used 19mm. Both 144mm long for 86.4mm stroke.
