Post #5 for 15bhp i wouldn't bother, i'd just go right with the gti6 engine or atleast the s16 one! my 8v xsi was hardly any different to a 16v one atall. 8v was better in lower revs if anything ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips 306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club]
