Re: To Sell or Not to Sell

Jeff,

I have a few Q's for you, if you have a minute; i have a 97 A3 Jetta GLX Turbo,
and would like to get some info from you; in particular, how did you lower the
CR? did you O ring the head? any problems with the O ringing; what boost are you
running?

Did you upgrade the head bolts?

I have a set of Raceware headbolts, and have a line on a .093" copper spacer to
use on the VR6; i wanted to know if i should o ring the head while i have it off?
i have heard mixed reviews about o ringing the head versus o ringing the block

any info would be greatly appreciated
