Depends on how you define rev. The 2.0 makes more power, but it doesn't sound the same OR feel nearly as visceral as the 1.8 does. The 1.8 screams, even though in the end it doesn't make as much power. I've driven my 1.8, and marshall's 2.0. Even with stock cams his car is making decent power up top, but it just doesn't SOUND the same. I know my car will be like this when I convert it over to a 2.0, but I don't care, I'll take more power. :) _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
