FishWick 21 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Don't buy EIP stuff. They're closing down apparently and they weren't much cop to begin with.I would stick to known brands that have been used a lot in VW circles, such as Mahle, JE, Wossner etc. Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 seconded je or wossner, i remember mahle pistons having mixed reviews a few years ago, although that was in non vw applications, and was more than likely down to other aspects of the engine. Link to post Share on other sites
6potmkII 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 ok cool, anybody know where i can source je ones from in us? iv seen them before for the $7-800 mark but cant find them now... wossners i kno are great but it would take me too long to finish the car as i cant afford the £750 price tag they come with....cheers guys Link to post Share on other sites

Lizard Racing 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I got my JE pistons from NO LIMIT MOTORSPORT a couple of years back. It appears thet you have to buy the rings separately $750ish is still cheap. Link to post Share on other sites
