 These are new heads , not rebuilt German heads.

 There are two types of heads, The EFI ones with the sensor
hole already casted and drilled out way too big for the 
new old 2003 beetle in Latin America, these heads have 
very tiney valves that look like they came from a 1300
bug engine , the EFI holes must be modified (welded and tapped)
to be used on a type 3 EFI .

 The other head available is for carbed engines, they have 
bigger valves similar to stock German heads. These do not have 
the EFI sensor hole tapped in there but the boss is casted in 
so it is ready to be drilled and tapped by a machine shop or the 
seller. The sigle port head is also available new from 
Volkswagen of Mexico, yes, VW is casted on them.

I bought mine from the Bug Patch for 125 bucks , these were 
the dual port carb style I think to tap the EFI bosses on both 
heads cost me 10 bucks each. See and call www.bugpatch.com , 
he does not have them listed but he can order them for you
and get them in one to two days, mailing to you will take longer 
but you must ask if that is an option.

If you are interested in them I can help you get them if 
they cannot mail them to you, they are a small shop but 
with excellent workmanship.
