Will have to use your inlet manifold etc and use the gti cam, should give you a bit more hp ;).

Ahh, injectors in the head. I thought the later heads had injectors in the manifold for better cooling (or is that on Audi heads?).
Remove the injector inserts and screw in blanking plugs, you can get them from your local hydraulics suppler.

surely this mod would lower engine compression though? or would the benefits outweigh the gains. i suppose you could get the head skimmed if need be.

Why would it lower the compression ratio?
