they are indeed available here in the states, but for about $400.
the spacers that come with the kit still need to be machined down to work with your particular engine
with the girdles I had made it would be very possible to get everything together for $150-$200.

yea, to blow up a VW diesel, you either have to be an idiot, not pay attention to your gauges, or you gotta be trying to blow it up. vw did a damn good job building these engines, except for the lack of head bolts. it needs 5 more head bolts, imho.
