Yes, the 16v 2.0 was sold in the 80 in Europe. It wasn't a successful 
engine, almost no torque at 'normal' revs. I've only seen two in type 89s, 
and the B4 80 competition quattro had that engine. I wanted a 80c, but not 
with that engine.
I might be persuaded to look up the specs if you're really interested.
