• Hi,
  
  I am currently running an AAZ engine in my vw T25/T3 van but the head gasket has gone and I think the head is cracked.
  I am able to get my hands on a 1Y from a 1996 mk3 golf.
  Would the head from the 1Y bolt onto my AAZ? Would I need to change the cam, valves or injectors?
  
  I've also been offered a PD150 turbo, manifold and intercooler.
  Would I benefit from fitting any of these and how much work would be involved?
  
  I'm based in the UK.
  
  Thanks in advance.

• 1Y head will bolt up.  I'd have to look up on etka whether or not the valves are different but I think they are.  It would work ok, though, even if they are.
  
  PD150 intake is better.  Turbo would be a vnt and be potentially difficult to control (lots of threads on the subject).  An intercooler is a nice addition.  Installing it will require some custom work.
