My experience with Carls 16v is that it is quick!






That is all...

Nothing on mine though..

(I hope! )

[velly_16v_cab]

trust me, it is work signing up on the clubgti forum just to get involved with 16v talk.
2.0 16v on k-jet is one of the main set ups.
the thread on there is way way too long to copy and paste.

A few of us have uk contacts, we should be using these to help get more 16vs over here.

Finally!

Hey Velly, copy any useful info and post it here if you could! (Pretty please?)

Edit: Thanks for starting this thread Dom. It'll be a good, informative read for me, and everyone else that's interested.

Although i don't think there is a large amount of people in aus that have experimented with 16v's?

[velly_16v_cab]

ok, what do you want to know lol.....

there is a great 2.0 16v thread on clubgti.com/forum in the engine section

[WABIT]

ok guys, id love some info on comparing performance of the 16v engines, both 1.8 and 2.0 sizes, also just another thing, please no comments on other peoples comments and inputs, this is just a personal experience thread and what YOU have learnt from both engines

ok guys id love to hear your input

cheers
