Actually a super short-stroke, fully balanced, ported and flowed, big valve 1.6 16V on ITBs, with a rev limit of around 9000RPM in a super-lightweight Golf1 shell would be far cooler.

Get it in at under 700kg, with 160bhp from the 1.6 and you'd have something very special to drive, with the right mods.

Hmmm. But a 20v turbo is an upgrade from my 16v lump that was going to go in it

No, adding lightness and simplicity is a huge upgrade from adding complexity and weight.

Wise-up, suckers.
