I'm going to guess that you have a Mk3, since you posted that you had a 2.0L motor in the GTI. I believe they only offered the 2.0L in the GTI in the Mk3 chassis.
this is true. they only had 2.0 in mk3's. which i don't understand at all. oh well. question solved. it's a mk3. i just never saw his post saying he had a 2.0L.
