Yep and I still prefer a well sorted 8v unless it is a mk1.

So you prefer the 8v version unless its a car that only came as an 8v?

S.M.

P.s. Yes, I do know about the Oetinger 16v Mk.1s but they weren't exactly common or mainstream!

Missing the point, a mk1 suits the 16v on the other hand a mk3 I don't think does.

 :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: At all of you.

16v suits people that drive the 16v way, 8v suits the people that drive the 8v way....I prefer 16v, I drive on the limiter every time I use my car, not all the time, but on a single 30 minute trip I probably redline it about 10 times. That suits me, it suits my driving style, where as the 8v would be fun all the way to 5500 rpm, the I'd stop enjoying it.

Soooooooooooooooo Back on this again,  sorry for the questions but i just need to confirm before i order me bits at the stealers!
 :undecided:

So next week im fitting i.e basically bolting in my AGU lump and o2J box out of my Audi A3 ( pipe work & plumbing etc will follow) im pretty much there with my research but just need to confirm im correct.

I can use my 8v rear engine mount,  but i need to order from the stealers a  2x MK3 16v gearbox mounts i.e the front mount by starter motor and rear mount at back corner of the gearbox making x3 mounts in total?

02a/02j have same casing but my current 020 is different and totally different mounts!

last Question.  Does anyone know if the Audi A3 pedal box will fit my mk3 golf? as im going hydro clutch or should i just get mk3 16v pedal box?

Any help would be much appreciated thanks again  :smiley:
