Guys we mustn't forget here, that the stock 16v we know and love was 
not designed with "peak performance" in mind.  Believe it not VW has to 
cater to other people besides enthusiasts when they design a car.  
They also have to try to make a car that appeals to 
everyone(including grandma's, family's, cheapo's, etc).  Thats what 
Volkswagen mean, right?  The peoples car.  Not lets race camaros car, 
just the peoples car.

I'm sure if VW really wanted to they could have made the 16v alot 
better from the performance asspect.  But they had to worry about 
things like gas milage and reliablilty.

I'm also sure that at least one of the aftermarket 16v are better  
from the performance asspect then the stock 16v.  After the tuners 
don't have to worry about things like realibily and gas milage.

Cool
