Yes a MK2 020 box will fit, the MK2 16v box is exactly the same as the ones fitted to the early MK3 GTIs :)

If you fit an 8v box you have to fit the right flywheel (& the right pressure plate too I think?) for the engine and the right clutch for the gearbox.

Apparently 8v GTI boxes are a good mod as they allow more relaxed cruising in 5th gear too, with the rest of the gears beimg the same or very similar :)
