They both might have similar power figures, but the 1.8T has about 50lb/ft more torque than the 16v. Plus its only the early 1.8T that have 150bhp, later ones are 180bhp. Audi/Skoda/Seat ones have 220bhp+ from the same engine.

only the ani' GTI had the 180 in the golf as far as i know

if the vr and gti were the same horsepower roughly does that mean we can ask the question between vr vsmk3 vs 1.8t? because mines been rolling roaded,before it was de-catted,new plugs and leads,coil pack and air filter and it was running at 189.9bhp at the wheels,done by well lane turbo centre. oh and len look into the chip bud,well worth it aslong as u get it all sorted by the proper people it'll go like fook and improve on everything even fuel!  :wink:


Yea but my missus says I'm mad enuff with the car as it is! Dont wanna frighten her too much! :laugh:

I have an extremely long stretch of country roads that i can use,  which is great if you know where you can overtake.

Well if Darren can get 176bhp from his 16v then that should be achievable. I have driven a Mk4 1.8t with exactly those figures and that was good! :grin:

the other thing to take into account is power to weight ratio's.

even if the bhp figures are similar... isnt the mk4 a good deal heavier than the mk3? so with similar outputs, granted the turbo might have more torque, but the 16v could actually be quicker  8)
