i've got a 'rocco 16v inlet sitting in my living room, right next to my jmr ported 16v head, neither of which are for sale :tongue: :grin:

Pistons will probably be your biggest material expense (after the bahn brenner kit, if thats the route you're choosing) , Audi RS2 pistons will do the job.. im looking at getting some custom made for mine so that i can keep the oil cooling jets in the chambers though.

If i were you i'd leave your car running the 16v and build up the 16vg60 in a garage then just drop it in when done, easier to make things fit that way when (not if) you change your mind on the parts you're using :grin:

I got the engine and box from Ebay! and all the other bits needed aswell. I am getting the work done through a Garage i supply parts to. I am getting a special rate on the labour. They haven't done one before so once its done and they r happy i will let ppl know where i have got the work done. Andy

i would use a different manifold than the scirocco one if you can because they sound like they are stoopidly rare and they ae right above the engine so the air gets a bit hot. get one that comes out the front like on the 1.8t's
