Just been trying to read up on the differences between the AXX (early) and BWA (late) GTI engines. It appears that there is quite a power difference. When i had the engine cover off earlier, i noticed that my engine code was BWA. Which is good, in theory it should be closer to 217bhp, rather than 197bhp stock figures, according to all the sites.
Anyone else had a standard BWA dyno'd? Do they make more power than the earlier AXX engines?
Can anyone also tell me definitively what the major differences between the 2 are? As there is conflicting information.
