Just curious, stock motor and fully built. Anyone know?

 

welll the stock 115 hp is good for a 17.1 at the track lol...i know by personal experience.

robb had the neuspeed s/c on his 2.0 and ran 16.0, with kyle k in the drivers seat tho

 

Well i might be comming into a mk2 vw soon and was wondering what would be better, turbo 8v or turbo 16v. I am not looking for a monster, just a nice streetable setup that is reliable.

 

i dont know much about boosting either 8/16v platforms....theyve booth been done, but from what ive heard the 8v responds better to boost....but dont qoute me on that.

 

Well the JH motor off the older 83-84 GTI, Cabriolet, and Scirocco 8v has an 8:5:1 compression. So its probably much easier to turbo b/c of that. The 16v has I think a 10:1:1 compression or something like that. The MKII 8v's had higher than the GTI, Cabriolet and Scirocco.
There is a Callaway Trubo Scirocco for sale on TVD. I believe its 8v turbo. You can also do 2l aba turbo.

 

Any idea what year they made the 8v head x-flow?

 

X-flow is the 2l aba motor from I believe 93-99. They are not DBW btw.

 

?

 

drive by wire

 

That is the electronic throttle? Do they make a conversion for the dbw because I am thinking of a 1.8t instead.
