kie_dub 0 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 First of all i must apologise for not posting for ages, i have been having a bad month lol. First i blew my engine at gti international, and then broke my computer so couldnt get on here to ask for some help and info... bad times, anyways.....My engine is currently being rebuilt and i need one of those metal gaskets that lower the compression for FI application. The garage has had it since inters and im getting fed up with not having my beast on the road :@Can anybody tell me who can supply one of these for me and a guestimate of the costsThanks in advance and hope everyone is ok and hope the vr6oc annual meet went well, couldnt get down and couldnt let you guys know that i couldnt make it due to no internet :@ and now im rambling on so hopefully ill get a reply Kieron Link to post Share on other sites

kie_dub 0 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Not too sure think its going to be the spacer, the all important part that lowers the compression. Ive spoken to strictly dubs but they said they have to get some in and it will be a 7 day wait so i havnt bought one yet as i need it asap.Any ideas of prices? Link to post Share on other sites
