can anyone tell me if the golf gti 1.8 non turbo is much slower than a 2ltr 8v gti ? cs i changed the clutch and its picking up real slow,the accelarator cable needs changeing bt would that be a reason for the slugishness? :undecided: :undecided:

It could be, it's not like you've posted a picture or told us exactly how slack the cable is... but it could be. Should be pretty similar to the 2.0L in terms of performance though if that's what you mean.

should i fit a turbo whistler to exaust n then buy ripspeed airfilter will that help? :undecided:

Don't be daft, find out if it is really slow or if you have a problem.

1.8 is 2seconds faster than the 2.0 iirc.
-
Yes, the 1.8 20v is the better engine of the 2. :wink:

Not that much quicker but it is the better choice.
9.6secs against 10.2secs btw

wow when you look at the figures for a GTI it's rather pathetic...
The 1.8t can just about cut it in a straigth line but sadly the brakes/handling/drivers appeal dont'.It's a great day to day comfortable/brisk car but that's about it.

Wayne, I thought the 2.0 was 11.something seconds?
