I had the non turbo version of this 1.6 engine in my 1990 VW Golf. I also had it's bigger brother, the 1.9 liter turbo in my 1991 VW Jetta. I was able to pull in the 50s with the Jetta. I liked this engine. The good thing with these engines was that the water pump is not on the timing belt, so even if the wp seizes, your engine is not destroyed.
