Apart from missing 8 valves.

We should call you Shady.

Couple of weeks ago, the 8V was the sh!t.

[Khare]

I never said it was. I just say the 8v is underestimated, it just needs some spicing up.

Quitter.

not at all, I'm wise even.

As DH said in the dub sections thread, a standard 16v will make more power with the same/less fuel consumption than a tweaked 8v.
Also, a 16v has 150 standard, 180 with ease, and 200 with some work put into it.
An 8v will have 150 with lot's of work put into it and lots of money, and it will only just be at the same level as a standard 16v. So I am saving myself so much money and effort of tuning.

Don't believe the power figures, the ABF is tunable but its not cheap, not for real power. The best person to ask is Glen, or check out his thread on clubgti.

For what it is worth, yes more power but torque is still the issue, but you only listen to certain members so lets all move on.

Bored, wanted a better bite.

Too many people believe that its easy to increase an ABF by 30bhp, you won't see people claim the same with a vr.
This is because you can't increase any NA engine that easily without big bucks.
This is a fact, unfortunately!

think your just after the slightest excuse to get out of an 8v, lol
tbh, there is nothing wrong with em, but if you want more then fair enough!!
