Utter bollocks! Find some better mates!

The 16v beats an 8v on all figures!
What an 8v does do is bring its puny amount of torque in earlier, thats all.

Why have a VR6 when you can get a 16v to push out 173.7 bhp! With just a K&N and a Magnex exhaust! :smug:

Mate nothing wrong with an 8v, or any GTI...I smashed up my 230bhp S40 T4, so totally agree that to me there aint gonna be that much of difference between 8v or 16v although appreciate there is?!
