Upgrading internals on stock 1g setup?

[TSI from Hell]

Ok so I’ll be pulling the cylinder head out of my completely stock 92 TSI in the next week (bent valves) and was thinking since my head will be off it would be a good time to upgrade the internals.

This is approximately what I had in mind (not limited to these options):

-Jackson Auto Machine SS Valves (*Standard size)

-Jackson Auto Machine Titanium Springs/Retainers

-264/272 cams

-Adjustable cam gears

-3g lifters

-Oil port mod.

-Gates timing belt



The question is; will it be inefficient or even bad to upgrade to those parts since the rest of my setup is completely stock (for now) beside a Holley fuel pump and NGK sparkplug wires? The car is a 1992 TSI AWD w/ auto trans. Still has the stock 13b turbo.

I do plan to upgrade everything shortly (as per upgrade path) and will run a MHI EVO III turbo setup for a while… I will eventually upgrade to a holset hx35 7 blades, but this is only in 2-3 years or whenever I have the funds.

Thanks, and feel free to let me know if you have better ideas for parts or options etc..

ps: Im not looking to get significant hp increase with this, but I'd like stronger and more reliable internals to start with. I would obviously go a different route if I didn't have to pull the head... fwi

I don't see any negative thing about having that stuff done. I would add arp head studs to your list though. Just do maintence before you start modding.

Ah, I knew I forgot something... arp studs! And yes all maintence will be done, it's my 1st priority.

If you haven't bought the cams yet, i'd get a 272/272 combo and not BCs. I'd also go to an HX40 over HX35 when upgrading from an E316g if you insist on Holsets.
Do the blue wire mod for the auto tranny too.

Are the 272/272 still streetable with only a 13b (for now)? From what I read you have a bit more torque with 264/272 then 272/272 althought it might not enough to make a difference comparing the difference 272/272 makes in hp gains...

Im still a bit confused with cams.

Never mind the above, used extensivly the search button and got my awnsers.
I'll go with 272/272 cams since i'll be upgrading turbo soon. Thanks for your inputs!
