Re: bäda's MKII VW Golf GTI 16V

From this point of view you're right of course, but what I wanted to say is, that it's nice to have a working OEM solution.

Re: bäda's MKII VW Golf GTI 16V

It's a PL engine which is almost identical to the KR except for slightly different camshaft timings and an enhanced engine management with lambda control and knock sensing.

Re: Introductions!
