Yea, I've seen them on ebay and also on Javads site. The picture on Javads site looks the same as the ones on ebay so maybe thats where he is getting them.

elijahallens2 ir anyone else did you find out any more on these?
Over on motorgeeks they seem to think they are not worth the money?
Titanium valve seats? I think you mean titanium valve spring retainers.
The bigger valves are nice, but since you aren't going to be revving past 7500rpm, the titanium retainers, LW lifters and HD springs really aren't necessary. It's your money...Comment

I looked into those and somebody mentioned something about high wear rates when you have titanium in contact with steel. Bit over my head so i just left it, didnt fancy being the guine pig on that one

Bit of a sweeping generalisation there Mr Blakey, as reading the whole thread, only one person said that they were a waste of money. Therefore, the real questions should be: -
1. At what power and at what rev limit would it be worth changing to Titanium valve retainers?
2. What other components should also be changed (and to what spec) to benefit from and match the titanium components?

Hmmm, well the scientist in me has won on this... guinea pig at the ready!
If the car will rev to 7,500 without these bits, not sure it's entirely neccesary but will be worth it if a pissing-contest ever arises about who has the best head (waits for filthy comments).
Javad says these will give hydo-lifters reliability to 8,000rpm any comments people? Seems a bit contraversial that all. I'm thinking a comprimise at 7,750 might do the trick
Oh, I'm going for Ti retainers, light-weight lifters (30% lighter), high-rate valve springs, and SS Inlet/Iconnel Ex valves... no port/polish though. I'll report my findings as soon as!AUDI - saving Dad's from minivans since 1994

Ross where are you sourcing springs from? The idea of an 8k redline really has my interest. I already have the 034 light weight lifters, tempted to go that bit further now so please tell
I found out the hard way before, if the inner valve spring of the two is broken you get valve float at exactly 6200rpms. Dont ask me how i know i just do
