That £2k price probably includes pistons and possibly valves. For 380bhp you would only want rods and possibly valves. I think you could do that for £1500.
thanks
rods yes due to the torque, but why "possibly" valves pj?

They are like rods and pistons. Weak spots when going for more power. The thing is there seems to be no power level where you need to upgrade them like rods at 350bhp and pistons at 400bhp as its more to do with how hard and high you want to rev and piece of mind. If you want to rev high then you defo need them. Bill seems to advise them from his experience. Others dont and run fine. Its a risk you take. Do them and you may never have had a problem but dont do them and you can bet they will be a problem. 380bhp might be ok without exhaust valves but if you are doing rods then the heads coming off so might be worth while.
or just buy my enigne
already got rods, pistons, valves, springs, retainers, arp bolts all round and the block has been painted
say what?
miraculous
inconel exhaust valves will cope with high egts better, and one piece intakes are less likely to break at the joint like std valves. BT and revs, you really should budget for some valvegear you can depend on. from personal bad experience, dropped valve is complete engine write off. £5k risked vs £500 on parts is the choice
stage by stage.. thats what being done by another customer.
internals done on his a3 quattro, in preparation for the BT to come next year. think of it as a foundation.

that was ive done just waiting on the price of the BT kit
mind you, if Issam can bring in the BT kit cheaper, then I just pay for fitting and mapping....happy days
although from last time, I am now very wary of sourcing a kit from one tuner and getting it fitted by another, as that was the cause of so many problems with my gt2x setup
will be no good for me as ive got a new polo gti
will you not be able to send him your ecu and get him to put a map on it
so would you recommend Bill - saving enough for internals and getting them done early next year, to bed them in and then getting the turbo etc all done later on in the year?

its an option, depending on finances.. running in wont amount to much time delay if any, so thats not a reason. big bang whole job one go first time round, saving for the whole thing will work out less labour tho for sure.
