I'd like to know too! VW don't seem to do GTi's on their UK website anymore, only GT's and the standard Diesel/Petrol cars.

Sweet, so I own a GT (according to those on the continent

)

Other than the badging is there physical evidance to tell the difference between the 2? Is one more desirable than the other?

Thanks

GTi is more desirable than the GT as the GT is the Driver like mine which come in 1.6 and 1.8 engine sizes and considerable less hp than the GTi.

So if I found a Golf GT with a 8v 1.8l engine, that would be less powerfull than a 1.8l 8v GTi engine?

Yup the 1.8 Driver/GT has 90bhp while the 1.8 GTi has 112bhp

Fantabulous. I don't want to bring up my old post so I'll ask in this one. Will a 1.8l 16v digi fit in a 1.8l 8v k-jet engine bay?

it fits in no problem at all, the only issue you have is wiring. You could run it on carbs though instead if you could source some weber DCOE's
