[Type 4 Unleashed]

I vote for Money No Limit.

For Heads go here: Thorsten Pieper billet heads, Twin Plug, Type 1 Exh.
Go either 98 or 100mm x 78, the heads would like a larger bore.

If serious about the budget# go with nickies and the CS kit, but make certain to spec 4032 alloy pistons, not the buttery soft alloy for racing.

The only thing I would do different today would be to add a CB Black box to increase head temps and fuel economy even further.

Excellent! Mine is back on the road after 9 years too! I ended up with a Type 1 based motor though.
