I do have a 2g , thanks for letting me know !

Oh yea how hard to is it to remove the motor mount ? Do i need to use to the jack to push the motor up and just put it under to support it ?

Yea i just bought the tools, one question though : do i have to take off the lower cover to get access to the tensioner ?

Yea i just gotta replace the head gasket not the whole timing belt job, i was gonna do the zip tie method but i guess i gotta buy the kit then

Yea ive asked around so far and the zip ties method seem to work pretty well if youre not touching the timing, I should be ok with just replacing the head gasket...hopefully

I already have ARP studs installed and did the whole timing job .Really ? I just watched a video and this guy zip tied the time belt to the cam gear after rotating them to tdc , can i do just that and put them back the way it was originally ?

So i had the timing done a while back at the shop without replacing the head gasket and now it's blown, rookie mistake, i should've placed it along with everything else when it was off. My question is can i take off the head and replace the head gasket without messing up the timing mark ? Do i...

I have a 95 tsi so i believe i have a 7 bolt ?

I dont know, its hard for me to try and piece a kit together since i barely know anything about engine upgrade . The easiest option for me right now is to buy the kit from MAP and a 4g64 crank and save up some cash to build the transmission and im good to go, i hope..

I know what you mean but i rarely go over 7000 rpm even when i race against people on the street and the closest drag strip is over an hour away from me so 2.3L stroker fit my driving style a lot more than a high rev 2.0L. I guess i'll go with the MAP stroker kit and a 4g64 crank , that should...

Thanks , i just sent them an email

Can i use 4g64 100mm crank instead and how much did the whole thing cost you ?
