90

Anyway its easy to spot, the large port 4age has a smooth inlet manifold with a T-Vis Badge on it,,,,, the narrow port non-tvis has a ripped inlet manifold with no Badge,

I've got two AE92 Gti's. Both on G plates. One has the good old T-VIS, but the other has that high torque, narrow port jobber.

Both were sold here, on the Isle of Wight. I couldnt tell you when the 'change over', was, exactly. The one with the latter non T-VIS, was first registered in June 1990. Also, the one with the T-VIS, was registered in September 1989.

So, i can say. Somewhere between September '89 and June 1990.

Definately 1990 though :P

Got to say, i prefer the earlier T-VIS engine. It may not have quite as much power, or peform as smoothly as the other one, but it sounds gruntier, and performs more like a motorbike engine!!
