IAG shortblocks in UK ?
Hi guys, I've searched the forum but couldn't find anything related. Has anyone heard of AIG short blocks?
It looks like in the UK most people forge their EJ25 engines to avoid the common issues but apparently in the US is more common to buy a new forged shortblock? I've come across IAG Performance, they sell Stage 1 up to Stage 4 shortblocks.
On their website you can find a Stage 2 for £2.5k. Looking at their ebay page they're selling a Stage 1 Plus for $3.2k + $800 shipping to UK. That's not even £3k.
Surely this would be a better option than forging your own cost wise specially labor costs? Perhaps we could all chip in and order like 10 for a bulk discount ahah
Has anyone had any experience or opinions why this is not a good idea to do in the UK?

With VAT alone you are looking at £3500 per stage 1 block.

How about reading,
I didn't say you could get it cheap here did i ?
Otherwise the whole SC range would be bust,
Those prices are stateside and i doubt could be matched by anyone in the uk
Warranty with a forged shortblock
Void if comes in contact with oil
