FYI, from what I can tell the AMU head is the same as every other small port 1.8t head. The difference between the AMU and the lower HP 1.8t's include different compression ratio (9.0:1 vs 9.5:1 IIRC) and a few forged bits, and of course a k04 vs k03.

My 225 actually came with an AMB head. I didn't even notice until after I bought the car, but it doesn't seem to have any issues.

My dream setup would be AMU block w/ AEB head and a BT setup. Lower end should handle it fine (may need new forged rods though), and the big port should flow enough to get decent spool out of a GT28rs or similar.

The AEB head was for some performance upgrades, AMU was running fine.

I know this a shot in the dark but do u still have the cylinder head the AMU I need one bad

Sorry this car is long gone. Totaled it in 2017. Sad part is the engine probably only had 60-70k on it, but the odometer was around 140k. Whoever parted that out got a real treat. I wasn’t in a place in life that I could have bought it back.

good luck with your search.
