i was about to ask the same question martz, :angry:

and it was along the lines of, if the 16v is sooooo good, why did vw choose to supercharge the 8v :evil:

At the moment I have both. Insurance company loves me, the misses don't! The 9a does seem quicker than the Rallye and I reckon it would run it. 16v is estimated at around 170bhp and the Rallye at 200bhp.

Been pinching parts of the 16v today!

Good question though!

yes, yes it is...probably something technical like the 8v had a lower compression/stronger head....

I've seen a buggy with 16v engine and a new mini supercharger bolted on looked ok. I dunno why VW never did it probably be a monster so thought no we'd better use the little 8v ;)
