I need a T16 turbo block from a coupe/GTi - literally just the block...
Have got an uprated engine only to find that the no.1 bore has a huge trench dug into it - so need to swap the block for a good one.
I am only looking for a good condition block - I have to rebuild the engine from scratch now, so have no interest in ones with less-than-perfect bores, etc...
Also - I have M16 pistons - so anything requiring oversize pistons etc will not be any good, as I am not looking to buy new pistons...
Please shout me if you have anything -
Many thanks,
Dom

Re: T16 turbo coupe block
Unfortunately Sy can't help me...
So still looking for a block...
To recap - I cannot enlarge the bore (already have pistons) - so need to get my hands on a very good condition block, with near-as-dammit perfect bores...
Can anyone help me..?
Thanks,
Dom
