When I first drove my 16V, I thought "Well the 8v pulled just as well if not slightly better".

Then I stopped driving it like I drive my Skoda which has NO power after about 4000 revs and drove it properly, and fook me does it go. :evil:

16v is better and  faster than 8v fact, you just need to learn how to drive them :)

Faster yes, still not a fast car though. I'm itching to make mine quicker.

That's what I'd like under mine as well. Something that is actually tunable without taking a mortgage out.
