Title: DIY Head Porting/Polishing guide
Post by: Splinter on 25 April 2005, 12:17
Found a great guide for maybe an extra 10 - 15 bhp for not a lot of money and about 2 full day's work.

Three of us did this on my mates 16v mk2 during two summers evenings a few years ago, while downing a few cans of beer! Quite a bit of labour time involved. Car was so smooth after and quicker.

Also see this thread here (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=20217.0) for little more general info.

Anyone else done this? Good results?

not done it on a golf but done it once on a mini and once on a mk1 xr2. both times there was a noticable improvement in performance.....and a bigger petrol bill. thats probably from using the new found power tho!
