I just purchased some IVAM 36hp Okrasa size intake valves. IVAM is an Italian company, and I believe that these are the valves that BBT sells. IVAM provides stock 36hp valves as well.

Wolfsburg West:
Stem diameter - 6.96mm
Valve diameter - 33.01mm
Seat width - 3.17mm
Lip thickness - 1.55mm
Weight - 54.1g

IVAM:
Stem diameter - 6.95mm
Valve diameter - 32.98mm
Seat width - 3.70mm
Lip thickness - 2.27mm
Weight - 60.0g

The IVAM valve has a traditional 36hp shape, the WW valve is lighter and flatter with a narrower seat and a thinner lip.
