Depends on how much work you want to do, how easy it is to get hold of the engine you want where you live, and more specifically whether you can afford the fuel bill if you want a carbed 16v…

think this comes down to an american myth that a carburator can be tuned to produce more power from a v8 than a fuel injection system. which it can if the v8 has been built with californias emissions laws in mind.
emissions laws dosnt worry me at all,i just want more power.
laste year i was hawe an '82 gti with 1,8 16v k-jet engine and it was run just fine,but i hear that carbs can give up to 160hp on that same engine.
is that true?

No you've misunderstood! There is a MYTH that carb engines can be tuned to be more powerful than those with fuel injection. This comes from USA EMISSIONS legislation historically (back in the 1970s, when there were unregulated cats, air injection pumps, etc etc).
Who told you that a 16V can give you 160bhp on carbs? Did they neglect to mention the same engine running on injection, could make more than 160bhp?

Better still, instead of spending large amounts on the 1.8 16V, start with one of VW's 2.0 16V engines - for example 9A, or ABF. This is naturally more powerful due to more capacity.
Note, I've not mentioned cams or larger valves - the 16V already has pretty much the maximum size of valve, unless you sacrifice reliability; and cams don't really help that much because the KR cam is pretty good as it is.
