a quick PAS question?...

[brother10]

i assume this'll be alright but thought i'd better check

... is the PAS set up from a  '91 16v  OK to put into my  '90 8v?

thanks.

[VeeDubGTI16v]

theres only one system as far as i know, so yeah

[Gambit]

there is differences in the systems. but yes a 16v system will fit an 8v

there is 3 PAS racks

non-Gti - lightest to turn
8v gti
16v gti - heaviest to turn

the difference

[brother10]

OK, so which is my best bet???
- and thank you by the way   

[Gambit]

16v has the best feel/feedback

[rubjonny]

I have read that the 16v PAS rack is slightly 'quicker' than the 8v PAS rack, which would be why it feels heavier as Gambit said

[brother10]

blimey, that was quick!!
- you people really do live here!! 

thank you.

8v with 195/50/15 is bang on, plenty of feedback and easy to turn in if car driven well
