I've actualy never heard of any go wrong with them I know 2people with the gti and no problems. I was just thinking if you got a out the factory turbo lump it would be like 'made for it' insed of turboing an engine that shouldn't have one on so would Bd more reliable. But sounds as if it's not that reliable lol.

Small, light and although not sure how an aftermarket ECU can deal with direct injection, I think it would be a great conversion. I'd certainly consider it as an option.

Timing chain problems, thermostat housings, cam sensors, vvt solenoid valves, coils, head problems are just some of the issues. I had one with broken piston rings and seen two with the timing chain tensions lose from the factory.

Work this logic out, lets fit a cam pulley thats floating (eg one centre bolt) but not have a woodruff key. Sensible.
The modified tensioner system that costs over £700 doesnt even work, and lets not forget the general 207s love for water ingress.
Oh did i mention that the 207 EP6 (not EP6DT) runs a s***ty MA box?
