UK Friends-16valve Audi 80 ?

[Alexander van Gerbig]

    It existed.  Though never in the US.  I thought about getting the parts
to convert to a 16v setup from a UK junkyard, but it isn't worth it.  The
16v's have cruddy low end torque, just like the 2.0 we have now.  The 16v
requires you to stay in the high rpm range, just like we have to now.  I
think the best option for us silly FWD 80 2.0 guys is to fit a New
Dimensions or 8V Turbo kit.  Run it at low boost, 6-7psi, and reap the
benefits of busted axles, fried transmissions, and bald front tires,
yeeeeha!  This summer I plan to fit the ND turbo kit, probably late summer,
and that should finish the car off except for a paint job.  By then I'll
also have a 200q20v to work on, $$$$, so who knows if this will ever come to
fruition...

P.S.  Ti Kan used to have a comparison picture of the Passat 16v and 80 16v
Sport, maybe he still does on his website.

Cheers!
