I've driven my mates 1.6 and it is DOG SLOW compared to my remapped 1.8t, you will love the difference.

Here is a checklist I made when searching for mine, if you search on here for anything which stands out/looks expensive you'll find more info :)

I would expect all 1.8t's have that kind of key yeah :)

There are a lot of cheap ones on the market mate. You will quickly realise you need to spend a few quid for a good one.

Mines up for 2600 if you're interested... :P
