G60JAY 0 Posted January 6, 2004 GSF sell them for £26. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted January 7, 2004 GSF sell them for £26. Be careful with the GSF ones, they may not be the original spec multilayer metal ones... A lot of people bodge the headgaskets by putting a standard 8V Golf one on which won't handle the pressure created by the supercharger... For the extra £10, I'd go VAG every time... Oooh, look, I have both times too! :wink: :roll: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oooh, look, I have both times too! :wink: :roll: :lol: When I did mine last year it came from GSF, via a well known scource of mine :wink: It was metal as per OE. Unsurprising that the one which failed was from a std 8V. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60JAY 0 Posted January 7, 2004 I`ve bought a couple from gsf and both the elring and victor reinz have been multi layer steel. This can easly be checked when you buy one. Jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
