According to my chart, the AGB and the 2Y are geared exactly the same.
<shrug> 

You have the 1.44 3rd gear which should net you a 90 mph @ redline,
according to the chart on my car test program.

Other stats that the program tells me, which maybe are not consistent
with what your results are but may have some interest to you. Also, I
haven't inputted anything but what comes as a bone "stock"  87' Scirocco
16V on the program so whatever mods you may have are not noted. 

0-60.  8.2 seconds.
1/4 time. 16.4 @84.6mph.
top speed.  115mph.

It tells me my top speed is 119mph but just yesterday I hit what should
be 125 on the 120 mph spedo easily on a long flat section of freeway
playing with a BMW. So, its a good reference program but maybe not
completely reliable. 
HTH.
