gti all the way.   much better base to start fetteling from.   1600 carb enignes have charicter and are good fun with a webber but they can also be utter sods when they want to be
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

both

Nick
Wot e said init.

But if you MUST choose, keep the GIT. You will regret selling your GIT. Use the CL over winter, get the GIT sorted then over next summer drop that 16V lump you got in the CL, hey presto you've got 2x 16V  :cool: keep the CL looking CL but with the 16V lump it will be a nice little sleeper  :evil:


Or give me the 16V lump you got  :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Keep both and strip the GTI out and keep it as a track slapper.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

 :cool:

can't remember seeing that as a choice.

if you think you've made money on the cl, sell it and make a profit.
