Thats vw for you. Thay always keep the BHP down i suppose it makes the engine last longer? Anyway get youself a remap and you will have 200 BHP (depending which engine you get)

No thay are not all the same, The early ones ie: AGU are 150 bhp, with a ko3 turbo then the anniversary model came with 180 BHP as Standard with a k03s turbo. After 03 all turbos were 180 bhp.

The varied BHP's across the 1.8T engines also has a lot to do with marketing of the VAG car portfolio. It allowed them to boost the BHP on audi's etc. to give them a prestige image (and pricetag).
