mk2vivs

victor reinz is a dealer supplier.I went to the stealers and paid a fair whack for one that turned out to be a victor reinz that i could have got at gsf for less then half the price!i will say deffo get the bolts from the dealers tho they are expensive,the only plus side to arp bolts is that you can re-use them they wont be cheap neither a fair bit more then the dealer ones.While your in there change the tensioner/guide to the mk4 or later style set up(i was told the dealers now only sell this set up)if you havent already.

what engine?On my vr6 they were m10 studs from manifold to downpipe with course thread 1.5mm or is it 1.25?the m8 ones were from cylinder head to manifold

i have the same kit comprising of mocal sandwich plate(thermo)setrab cooler and pipes etc.just wondered if you knew the pipe ive been sent that screws into the block ive screwed it in and a few threads are still showing.ive taken the old pipe out of my metal cap put the sandwich plate up to the block then screwed the cap on.it all tightens up but is it correct with that small amount of thread not into the block?
