That kit on Turbobricks.com (ha ha...) is bad a$$.  Any machinists around here want to fab up something for us?  I'll trade you some time with my valve shim kit & tools for some time with your squirter installer.

Don't the VW squirters have pressure valves in them so that they are only squirting when oil pressure goes up?  Do the BMW units?

That's pretty slick, eh? The community over there kicks ass!

I'm pretty sure the BMW squirters have a check ball as well.

Well, looks like it's going to be time to pull out the ole drill sooner than I thought.  My head gasket just started giving me a little pressure in my cooling system on the highway.  So, I'll rebuild, and If I'm in there, I figure it's time to add squirters.

Bump.   Does anyone have pics of factory squirter installation?  Are they the same as the BMW units?

Are there any other differences between the Td piston and the N/A piston besides the notch for the oil squirter?

This thread is really amazing, I hope to coat piston tops and drill in the squirters someday

This is really something..Great job man!

supposedly the TD pistons have a special heat reflective coating, and may be made of a more heat resistant alloy...  my guess is that early on this was the case, and then VW just stuck to using the stronger piston for both TD and N/A.  would be interesting to know for sure though!

Well I finally received my squirters (well actually only one squirter and bolt so far, but enough to let me drill the holes).
I'm just wondering if anyone has some dimensions on how deep the cut in to the piston skirt needs to be?

Cheers for that, I'll hopefully be busy drilling and tapping for the squirters tomorrow anyway ;)

Since our squirters have a side bolt holding them in, drilling the block is a bit more involved.
