 16v.....reason i say this is the valves, springs are the
 same...the cam is the same......shit the heads are both made
 from the same casting mold.......they are identical in every
 way.....the scirocco came with an 8v 2.0 in germany maybe he
 is comparing 8v 2.0 to 16 1.8l...i dont know. but i will tell
 you that you could put 10 different heads from the same motor
 lets say a 91 2.0 16v jetta.....and everyone will flow at a
 diff rate. i will tell you....i spent many hours playing with
 flow benches when i was racing.....but then again i was using
 8v heads" >>

yup the heads are the same as far as valves etc. go but yes we are compairing
the same 16v heads and like before the 1.8l flows at 30 CFM higher than the
2.0l head
every head will flow different  but stay within a certain range. 2.0l flow at
150-155 cfm avg  the 1.8l head flows from 170-190 one even came in at 195 and
all that was done was take scotch bright to the intake not even ported.
