Can a moderator close this now? its gettin really boring! everyone that has to be said in this little argument has already been done so... atleast 3 times over!

The reason this thread keeps going on and on is some people can't grasp the simple principle that more valves means more power  :)

This is true, i own an 8v, an il admit a 16v has more bloody power! it has 8 more f**king valves! that means more power! only reason i havent got one is the insurance cus im a mere 19!





That said when i get my car back on wednesday it will kill most 16valvers outrite, its gunna have a very pretty engine for inters! ;D

The 8v is a nice cheap and easy car to mod, for example you only need to change one cam!
Certainly worth doing, a tuned up 8v will easily keep up with a stock 16v, or even beat it.
If you have the cash and can afford the extra insurance , always go for the 16v though. A tuned 16v is awesome, especially with a 9A block (2.0L) in it  :)

i think we have a winner: THE 8V! Congratulations!

by the way mine does 0-60 in under 9 sec also, and it's only 107bhp version of gti 8v.

another desperate person with their head in the sand.

Q: can you breathe down there?

seems like a lack of oxygen to the brain making you think strange things.

like an 8v being quick.

let's put it this way:

0-4000rpm  winner 8v
4000-6700rpm   winner 16v

money matter  winner 8v
modifying      winner 8v

3 to 1 wins 8v.

Case closed.




uhuh, person with head in sand syndrome.

8v = milk float

16v <> milk float

yea my 8v will definetly do 0-60 in under 9 seconds...+ i have seen those 0-60 in 8.3 seconds all over the web...10 seconds is way 2 slow 4 a GTI

if its on the Internet - it MUST be true  :o

i think they have us here VR6.

to be honest, anything above 10seconds, needs to be measured using a sundial.

Another thing to note about the 1.8 20v is it was detuned to 125bhp to fit in with 150bhp 1.8 20v Turbo engine.
The 1.8 20v will run at a more natural 150bhp with a few mods.
