I have no technical reasons for this statement, nor any personal experiences, but I've read somewhere on the VW GTD forum that using MB nozzles in the VW 1.6-derived engines was a bad idea. Something about the MB spray pattern is not optimal for the VW's and it could even cause damage to the pistons. Again, I have no evidence or technical information to cite, just passing this along -- YMMV.

Having said that, I would be interested in getting 6 of those 293 nozzles!
