Re: $150 aba here in OH

Oh yes!!
As a matter of fact that's the ploy I'm going to use on Tony this weekend.
Have him drive Mike's stock 1.8 16V, then drive my 2.0 16V that is otherwise stock.
Huge difference in mid-range torque!
Doesn't matter if it's an 8V or 16V, going from 1.8 to 2.0 makes a big difference.
