Title: Is this True??

That VW made some 8V GTI's with 150BHP from factory and they are very, very rare. Tried searching but no info on this. A Friend was saying that its written behind the VW Manual or service book (Cant remember which)  :undecided:

Never heard of that mate. Only the ABF's made 150BHP.  The 8v is a fairly old lump now and back then I can't see how they could have made it a 150BHP, unlike these new cars they have tiny engines that give big BHP!

I doubt it, I'm sure I would of heard this before now.

It takes alot of work to get a AGG up to 150bhp.....

Internet myth along with the other all time classic that ABF's were detuned to 150bhp so as not to harm sales of the VR6 :grin:

If only that was the case as we'd all be running high power valvers on a shoestring.
