150 BHP ABF which is naturally aspirated vs an 8V GTI which has turbo?

We all know which would be faster.

But like murraymint has said, it's something different.  :wink:

Different yes but still pointless, think about how much that conversion was new against a 16v version

Also I doubt that it would fit a golf without a lot of work.

Well worth doing just for the fun of it, sticking a light fly wheel and a cold air feed on an ABF is just as pointless as any 8v mod.....

Not at all. The difference in response is very noticeable with a lightened and balanced flywheel.  Best mod I have done so far.

Put it this way, it's a hell of a lot quicker on acceleration then it was without. Unless you dont have pulse you wont notice it. Like I said and many who have HAD it done it is not a pointless mod. A lot cheaper then turboing an 8v  :rolleyes:

Erm sarcasm.....

And yes revs really quickly

Does my Mk3 still get raped by my brothers van, every time

Ju571n was clearly wasting his time on his 8v as well :huh:

Those who HAVE built an engine will tell you its not pointless, 24 16 or 8 valves. You learn something and have fun doing it
