see as it a bad and expensive idea to chip my ecu
i want to run gti mangement which involves a cam sensor which a 1.8 doesnt have
so the next step is to replace the head i know a few people have done it on here but there isnt much info
i guess i will have to use:
gti loom + ecu
1.8 head gasket set
1.8 belt kit
i already have the cams and manifolds fitted to the 1.8

and before anybody tells me to put a 6 lump in i cant
any info would be a grate help and if anybody wants to sell me parts related to this please pm me

not sure if it does replaced the cams a couple of months ago didnt see a casting marks that could used for the sensor

The other reason I was thinking of using the gti head because iv heard there are good gains but not sure just trying to get as much info as pos
Thanks for all the help

Sounds an awful lot like you should just swap to a GTI-6 engine...

OR

Get a 6.

I can completely understand that, and it's always good to have people willing to try something a bit different.

Just be careful of what you're spending and know when to cut your losses, I've seen several people go out on a mission to try something clever, only to end up thousands of pounds poorer and with a car that still isn't as quick as id they'd just bought the model up.
