this would be sick.. 12k USD race head and turbo set-up.
but you will need an upgraded trans

This head is from China market EA888.3 engine, which, apart from head without integrated exhaust manifold turbo had pneumatic wastegate, no MPI (so like NAR spec engines) and regular, non-electronic thermostat housing (AFAIK 1.8TFSI from NMS Passat had same too?)

China spec 1.8TFSI had CUFA engine code

so I can order just the 4 port head from alibaba on the cheap?

The Ecotune kit only currently fits right hand drive. I wonder if anyone makes a similar turbo kit for US .. for the 4 port head?

If somebody can price a kit reasonable there should be a market with just how much better they sound in higher rpm.

Would this work as a CXCA substitute?

About to buy one myself once I know what engine code is compatible.

I was told by them that the CJX would work no problem .

I have a 2015 GTi and the CJX I thought was golf R?

I’m waiting for a response . What answer should I receive for the cams?
