Which, sadly, is marketing blurb...and tells us nothing about what has actually been done to the head....and in some ways the term itself is  a poor one as polishing certain parts of the head can reduce performance!

They are reasonable heads...not the ultimate...but then again, the price reflects this. But people need to accept that the gains won't be massive without additional work.

the guy who does them has about 20 years experience porting 16v heads and used to do them for gti engineering back in the day. there are better heads out there but i believe his are the best 'street' heads before you start machining the valve guides etc

i didnt realise tsr charged £900 for them! what a rip off!! like paul says if you know where to go you can have a new one for £400

Hi Ya Ess-Three,

You mention there are better heads in the thread, where can i find these? Also are there any companies you may know of for engine block rebuilds, i know of TSR was wondering if there are any other options.

Let me have any info ya can.

Thanks

Well as your comment was dismissed as marketing blurb, I was surprised you didnt give us the benefit of your inside knowledge.

Never saw a 16v rolling roaded, 8v would add a little but not much.
