Dan, I only changed the exhaust guides on my AEB head as the inlets were fine... the head had over 100k of use on it so was pleased with that...Welly/Bill,
As you know I blew my head, the guy rebuilding it says its going to need new exhaust valve guides which he is saying are £15 each plus VAT and obviously there are 8. He then said it may need new inlet ones too which then would be £15+VAT x 20....not good! Welly did an AGU head fit straight onto yours? Mine is an APY so think it will? Can I use a standard inlet manifold for now on an AGU head? Then get a big port one when I find one?
Reason asking is I have found a brand new head for £400. This is a genuine VW one and not a recon.
Or can I get away with just having the exhaust valve guides done and new valves?
Sorry for posting it here...but eventually it will coincide with the information as it is a hybrid ko4 car lol
Thanks!
Dan
All 20v turbo heads will fit mate, mines an AMK (2001 S3) and I fitted an AEB head from a 97 A4 on it...
I use the std small port inlet manifold but use a transition phenolic gasket (Bill sells these) and ported it a tad... I don't appear to be getting any flow issues from this setup I have a GT3071
