They come with a bigger head and stonger internals that the AUM lumps so they are best for big power, ie: KO4 turbo's or Garrett's.

The AUM's have got a sports turbo (better than that on a AGU) and the vvt-i which make it a bit quicker in its factory form and you get about 20 odd brake extra on remaps!

well if you want up to 250 then get a standard vw KO3s, if you want up to 400bhp then I would go with a garraett, KO4's are good too, but tbh I have heard better things about the garretts ;)
