what is the expected output you can get from a VW 2.0 16v Turbo motor with a proper fuel management system??

A quick Google shows tuners getting up to 500 bhp out of it.

Ahhhh Google! how could I forget! thanks Matt  :-)

Components are a big factor in power output. A big turbo with stock internals will yield you some broken rods most likely. But a built 16v handles boost very well and can make some very good power when done right. My advice would be not to go cheap.

You gonna have a project on your hands? I'd like to see it as I want a MKII 16v GTI with dual rounds.

ahh Rob, I was waiting for your answer

Why not a Saab engine? 2.0L inline from a 1990s 9000 does 500+hp and lives to tell the tale 200.000 km further

If you are going with a VAG engine, the 1.8T 20v is a better option.

For some reason I was thinking an old 16v motor with a turbo added on. Completely overlooked the newer MK5 and 6's with the 2.0 16vT. The new 2.0t's are quite tuner friendly, with a simple ecu reflash adding around 40+ hp. Big power will still require that you build the engine (rods, pistons, etc...) in order to handle the power.

VVM has a good point, the 1.8t is very, very well established, and most everything that can be done, has been done to them. My GTI has the 1.8t, and I love every bit of it! Well, aside from that pesky PLASTIC water pump impeller!
