Re: porting head? how beneficial?



i'm not sure if turbo porting is any differant.. maybe they don't grind as 
much off?

can't find any turbo audi 5k's here... i have a g60 motor.. so from what 
i've heard it's a bolt on. not sure though.. that's why i want to try them 
out, while my motor is apart.

A junkyard... If you are going to put them in a 1.8 block w a 1.7 crank,
you'll need the rods from the audi as well, or so i've been told.
