 I would beg to differ on that comment . I challenge you to find one thing 
power wise you can buy or do to a 8v you cant do to a 16v . 

I think if you were to go for 160 hp in a 8v and 160 hp in a 16v I bet it 
would cost about the same maybe even less in a 16v . Starting with a 2.0 on 
both for arguments sake of starting with the best and similar size engines 
the 16v is already 19hp ahead of the 8v . 
 
My experience being that I dropped a bone stock , burned up(everything not 
metal was melted), Passat motor in my rabbit and only bolted on a TT race DP 
and exhaust and layed down 126hp to the wheels . That equates to near 150 
right there , now with a pair of cams and a fuel enrichment module or 
Motronic swap I think you could make 10 more hp fairly easy . 

No flame intended just playing devils advocate for the 16v camp .
