Fitted a Turners head 3 weeks ago. TDI was using water intermittently and overheating. No bubbles or water in oil. Everything else cooling wise had been replaced in the last few years. Figured it was either the head or gasket. Pulled the head off and the gasket was fine. No obvious cracks in head. The new head cured the water loss but not the overheating. I then changed the viscous fan even though it was only a few years old and I could not really stop it with a paint brush when hot. Made a big difference to temps but I am still not convinced I have solved it yet. Radiator next.
Turners used DHL. Came in a few days. But be prepared to get slugged with GST, import duty and the usual DHL added fees. Try to get Turners to use somebody else.
If you can afford the extra $ get the performance head. It definitely goes better than standard. Not dramatic but noticeable.
