It's interchangeable, are you planning to fit the vvt as well? Or keeping the agu cam chain tensioner? A lot of people are going vvt on the agu now with the use of the later wide and ecu.

O right I follow you, I thought you was looking to change the head on the agu. It was far past my bed time when I replied  :grin: ignore me lol

Yes it will bolt on fine  :cool:

It will fit but he'd be better off fitting the whole engine.  As he'd benefit from the large port head and higher CR.

Apples and oranges. Some prefer higher compression some prefer lower compression, all a matter or build. Both are available in aftermarket form for the 1.8t and both came from factory.
