A mk4 without a turbo, I only though that only happened on mk3's...

On a serious note they do come with non turbo engines, I'm sure some one can dig you out a list of all the N/A engine capacities.

Yes you can. I have the 1.8 due to only being 17 when I bought it and insurence tried to rape me for a 1.8t. Its ok. Not too slow but not the fastest car around.

yeah i know, i noticed then that it had less bhp too, but still, how?

is there that much difference in the design of the engine?

In a word yes the 2.0 is 8 valve, The 1.8 is 20 valve, yours is simply a much better engine  :smiley:
