106 gti engine

[reecebashford]

my mate who owns a 106 gti, was told on the gti forum that the later gti engines had mre power than eariler models, i think he said that they have 130 instead of 120 bhp? i was just wondering fi this is true

thanks

not true

[Scott-jarvis]

rubbishness, and GTI only came in phase 2 shape

[Ashleyp]

1998 gti onwards = leather seats
2000 gti onwards = 24mm rear arb

only differences made from when the gti began life in 1997

they have 134bhp per tonne iirc, but not 130 bhp ATF

Early GTis were 24mm ARB. Later were 22mm.
Think all had leathers as option, and later leathers had airbags.

always wondered this? why leathers and half leathers etc? for the gti? obviousley an option but was there a price diff? the gti is top of the range so it seem odd to ffer a lower budget? although it isnt uncommon these days

[reecebashford]

ah i thought not, the guy that said the later gtis had 130 bhp alsp reconed that one of theese '' later gti's '' would also make 150bhp with exhaust and induction

[blackie_2k5]

wish my vtr could bask 120 with sed mods

as far as ive seen all were 24mm

my 1997 r reg has 24
so does rushys (iirc an 02 behind r77 lol)

early leather (pre 99 iirc) has bigger bolsters than the later

[CaldzieVTR]

i read a similer rumour on a "review" site that said later vts had 130bhp..... oddness

After reading that (including saxp's very own yates), you can understand my confusion...
