Try driving it about 1000 rpm above how you used to drive your 8v! ;)

I drove Mod's 16v recently and its no slower low down than a 8v. Looks like your engine isn't running sweet  :-\

'golf vr6' is right. I have had 3 8v's and 2 16v's and i'd say overal the 16v's are quicker. Its a completely different way of driving though, you need to be brutal with the 16v to get it to go (but that is what i liked about it).
