Re: [TECH]: P&P'ing 16v head?

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

This is true!!  However, you must also take into consideration the weight of
the car.  If you are putting it into an early A1 (Scirocco, Rabbit, etc.)
then I would defineately go with the 1.8 head.  If in a larger car (MK2, A2,
etc.) you may want to do a little porting on the 2.0L then some cams and try
it out.  Won't hurt either way since you have both and can swap them around
if necessary!  HTH!!
