Aus and USA MK3's??

[richo]

This may have been covered before, but I'm just wondering about the difference engine-wise between Aus spec 2L 8v Mk3's and the USA spec 2L 8v Mk3's. Did they all get the cross-flow head in the USA, or is something that happened later in their model run? What does that mean for the stuff you see for sale from Neuspeed and Autotech etc, ie. do those chips/cams/cold-air intakes etc that seem readily available in the US work for Aus spec cars too?
Thanks,
Rich

They have the cross flow stuff and the emissions stuff as far as i know. I think all hydro 8v cams fit just about any golf 8v motor with a hydro head, from mk2 to mk4. Correct me if im wrong.

I would like to find out more aswell.

Ray (rayray086) was asking about this a little while ago as he was looking to spice his motor up a tiny bit. He'll have started a thread so you could do a search in the mk3 section for it, but if you can't find it just shoot him a PM. He's nice, he'll answer you
