    It's the other way around - head from the MK2 GTI on a 2.0 block. You don't get a big power increase but the extra torque is noticeable and turns the (lazy Aussie spec) MK2 into a proper (by 1990 standards) GTI. Add the euro spec exhaust from a 2.0 MK3 and you get a few more hp.

    By using the MK2 head you don't have to change any of the fuel injection parts so a very easy and cheap upgrade.

    Cheers

    Paul

    239mm is too small for modern traffic. I've still got the MK3 hubs, calipers and 256mm rotors if you're interested.

    I have another one, just don't tell the wife.

    It's hidden at a mates place but needs too much work so I'll probably sell it for parts to help out other MK2 owners.

    If you end up parting it and the dash is in good condition I'm keen to buy.
