If you done all that to the 2ltr 8v then it would probably struggle to give a similar power output to a standard 2ltr 16v tbh.

The 8v route would be easier for you seeing as that's what youre car is but if you want something you can upgrade later on for a bit more power then go for the 16v. You will struggle to see 170bhp out of an 8v and have it as a useable daily driver, whereas a 16v will produce that as standard if it's a good engine.

I'd go for the Corrado, but i may have become slightly slightly biased recently!  :grin:

I Corrado's are awesome but seriously expensive when things start going wrong!

Hmmm....cant argue with that im afraid (and mines only a 16v)!  :cry:

If you were going to buy a Corrado, then make it a VR - you wont' be dissapointed!

I agree with Lewy, go for a rado VR6.
I changed from my 16v to a rado VR6 and I'm loving it.  It is more refined and definately a lot more relaxing drive... you should convince ur bro to give you a go ;)  The VR roar will have you hooked.
In defense of the Golf, I still love them because they are so much fun to drive, you can fling at anything.
