Hold on, i am confused here.....what would the advantyages actually be of using a 1.6 golf TB over the GTI TB??? Surely there cant be any advantages towards the golf one, the 1.6 golf is painfully slow! Why upgrade parts from a slower car???

Im sure the 1.8 T could be made to fit 8)

GTI TB is 63mm and the BCB one is 69mm - can't remember if those figures are exactly right but it's somewhere along those lines

If I don't find any info I'd be tempted to get one from a scrappy and experiment - if I could get one cheap enough. How much would a TB cost as a guestimate?
