Prothe  :-\. I would buy certain things from them, but Engine bearings and Rings I wouldn't risk it.

Its a gamble on anything that relates to the engine running.
We have found some of his items to be worthy. By trial and error amongst hundreds on various forums.

I can give good marks to the locking fuel caps, gear shift knobs, expansion tanks, mk2 relay shaft. For the money.

In a lot of cases, you can get better quality at equal prices from places like AutohausAZ and RockAuto.

Everything from Prothe is no-name packaged in floppy boxes.
Its all made to be cheap, thats why it is cheap.
Sometimes that is good enough for certain people on certain cars.

Do a search of prothe, this has been gone over sooooo many times it's crazy.
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.
