Mine was 285 at the crank.
Never found it a problem unless it was wet.
Yes 4wd gives you better traction off the line but you still get inherent understeer - in fact id say the Audi has more understeer under power than my Golf by far.
Guess it depends on the set up but the Golf was an awesomely fast car.

No think your ok Phil not nicked or anything (as far as i know) just known to us `old` club Gti boys. Spoke to Paul H (original uk owner) about it being posted and he said it he has seen it with various wheels, interiors etc since he sold it (and he had some massive front brakes Ap s iirc which he had under porsche rims on it). Got his number he s a top bloke (moved onto a late 97 2.9 VR6 Golf synchro and nows running a real minter R32 Golf) pm me if you want his number.
That's ok then As far as i know, the guy who I got it from restored it last year. I'm not too fussed though as it's being rebuilt as we speak, bodyshop on Monday, seats off to the trimmers on Tuesday, and I'm on the hunt for a cheap 2e engine for the Conversion
When did he sell it?
Audi 80 2.0
E21 BMW 316
Ibiza Cupra Sport
Mk3 Golf GTI colour Concept in black!
Mk3 Golf GTI
VW Caddy van with my gottis on it
Pete, Did you do the 20v conversion yourself ? Very nice VW BTW
No mate.
The previous owner fitted the lump (BAM) and he already had DTA E48 from his previous throttle bodied 2l 16v, I bought it as a project as it was nothing like the car i sold - changed or replaced nigh on everything under the bonnet - radiator and mounts, coolant pipework re-routed,, intercooler,intercooler pipework,actuator,engine mounts,suspension,wheels etc etc.
Reason i bought it was purely a finacial one, i had my E34 M5 and a mint Mk2 16v, i wanted to do the conversion myself on the Mk2 but it would have swallowed up most of the money i sold the M5 for.
I sold both cars:-
and bought the 20vt for nigh on the same money i sold the M5 for - therefore i was 2 odd grand up after selling the valver .
