hi everyone i have a 97 gti 16v , in the next few months i will be doing abit of work on it my plan is a polished TB , modded air box , port & polished head and a remap , what i would like to know is with a P&P head is there anything else needed besides removing the heading and having  it done is there any work needed on the pistons ect?

what BHP  would i look at gaining  from this work

just put a vr6 in it ?

[Zerocool]

its is on the cards , ill just buy one if i go that way

lol , i was wondering what to do performance wise to my 1.8 8v . so i just bought a vr6 donor car for £500 . i figured for an extra litre of cc and extra 2 cyliners and around an extra 100 bhp £500 seems a bit of a bargain and i will just break the vr when im finished for spares and try and get some money back

yeah it does like a good idea, you should get most of you money back , do you have the car yet?? if so does it have original vr6 wheels?

i just wanted to get my engine over 200bhp its always fun wiping the floor with most of these mk4's lol

there is a vr6 engine with everything you need for £300

To get a 16v to 200bhp will cost you thousands.

then it looks like a vr6 conversion LOL

ask Ess_three, danny_p and diamond hell. They are ABF experts and danny_p and diamond hell have done a hell of a lot of ABF conversions over the years. Ess_three has a 197hp 16v running on ITB's.

+1 The engine is tuneable, other people on here have proved that, but don't expect it to be cheap...
