Has anyone actually bought parts from there?
jimfoo this might be a possible route for you. punch out your block and sleeve it. you'd get to re-use your original pistons :wink:

"HI, the problem is that the TDI piston is longer top to bottom than theIDI piston and for that reason the conversion won't work. I am working on a 1.6 to TDI conversion, but I found special pistonsthat will fit the block (and won't stick out too much). Pete"Guess the answer is no, it won't work for me.
I bought 1.6td injectors as well. Let me how they perform once you try them because i am just curious as the price is unbelievable.
I had GTD nozzles done with slightly higher than stock opening pressure and they performed worse than a brand new set of OEM 1.6TD injectors (not reman).Maybe advancing the timing a bit with the GTDs will have helped, but I doubt that would have recovered the 10hp I lost and add more power. Maybe I just had a bad set of GTDs, or increasing the breaking pressure was simply a bad idea.
