who do VW have? mainly because i may be rebuilding a 2.9 corrado lump and i need to know where to get bits from (not VW, even with staff discount its very expensive)
So if you know where to get bits from standard and uprated (like oversized pistons) let me know

maybe, ill run the engine in for 500 miles and flog it, seen some crap ones go for just under £3k, so with a full rebuild i may get a good return. may keep it never know, but knowing me itll be a mirical if it ever gets rebuilt
