Topline 1.6td 12mm mechanical head
« on: June 02, 2011, 12:04:31 pm »
Does anyone have or know of a good source for a new topline cylinder head???? I searched alittle online and the two places I called were out of stock. I know partsplaceinc has them but I was looking to spend a little less than $695 bucks.

Even with a prothe head after getting turbo diesel Valves and all of the other parts I would be close to the topline. Where is everyone getting their topline heads????

I got mine off ebay back in '06.

'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.
