Re: 2.0T or 1.8T (troze1200)
You still would have to worry about the throttle body/throttle cable if it's a drive by wire 1.8T.

Re: 2.0T or 1.8T (87GolfKart)
There are people around Toronto running 10s in 2L 8V Turbo setups. I have no idea what they've done to make the motor make that much power but it's do-able. Stick with the 2L because all you need is a turbo. And if you decide to go the 16V route you just need a head and new turbo manifold. Lot's of options left for your 2L! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: 2.0T or 1.8T (VW GLI Turbo)
... the fastest recorded time for a 2L 8v turbo I have seen was a 10.76 @ 132mph and that was in Jersey ... the fastest Canadian is that SEM car VR6 turbo ... which ran a 10.2 .. btw, its the fastest VW in the world now (in its category).
The fastest 2L 8v NA runs something like a 12sec. And in my opinion and experience your run of the mill turbo on an ABA is capable of 13s NOT 10s
but to stay on topic ... 1.8t == expensive .. if you find one cheap all the power to you .... 2.0 == dirt cheap ... WHEN you find one you can do some internal work with the money you saved then add the "t" . The "t" == somewhat cheap but also == lots o fun
