im pretty sure they didnt make a 2.0 turbo model,the 1.8 turbo is 150bhp and the 1.8 20v n/a is 125 bhp (i think) and the 2.0 is the same engine out of the mk3 gti i think they are 8valve not too sure though id go for the 1.8t and get it remapped :wink:
-
Yep, 2.0 Ltr in a Mk4 is naturally aspirated (ie. no turbo). & has only 8 valves & 115 bhp. (It's v. slow) :tongue:
You can also get 1.8 T's with 180 bhp as standard.
-
ps Mine used to have 150 bhp, now read my siggy! :evil: :grin:
-
im sure when i lifted the bonnet it said 20v turbo on it!!!!
is there any thing i should look out for..
-

what a silly question :tongue:
golf golf golf golf

yeah it is really
being on a golf site :embarassed:
-
the 1999 model golf turbo has the stronger engine than the later models so it can take more tuning
i bought my v reg turbo for 6k with 55000 mls off a dealer so £5.800 is not really a bad price
and just think if you get it remaped it will be pushing out 200bhp and all that for about 400 quid :grin:

20 valve turbo its a 1.8 engine
-
Yep. They didn't make 2litre turbo mark IVs. You've seen a 20 valve 1.8 Turbo. ('V' for valve ! :wink:)
Go for a 1.8T 150, and chip it.
-
1.8T all day long. The 2.0 is a bad engine for the mark IV. Drinks a shed load of oil as well. 1.8T 20V as everyone has said is a very tunable engine. I think Revo can get them upto about 212 from 150ps.
