sleepymike 15 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Ok cool thanks, i just thought i could get one direct from vw but i will try the companies you said. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
p0u1 14 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 well have you lowered your compression to take the turbo yet, because if you havnt then they do head gasket spacers which will lower your compression, if your lucky anothe to have new pistons to do that job i would go to vw for the HG Link to post Share on other sites
sleepymike 15 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Well the story is yes its got a spacer fitted already and been running for the last 6 months or so but ive only had a thin spacer in with 2 standard gaskets either side but 1 of them has gone and im getting excess pressure in the header tank! So ive now bought a 8.5.1 c2 headspacer and they said use a sharan gasket but ive no idea which one as vw said the ones listed for the AAA engine are fibre! So yeah its been running at 298bhp but now i want more so fitting the thicker spacer.Is this the vw sharan part no i need 021 103 383 N ? Link to post Share on other sites
p0u1 14 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 if c2 tell you to use that they have loads of customer cars running that power so i would take there word for it, and yea if you were running close to the standered compression your llucky its only the head gasket that went :-P, im building a twin turbo up affter xmas i can wait for the +300bhp :-) Link to post Share on other sites
