The core of the engine is not the same, the 1.8t is a I4 DOHC 20V whereas the 2.0 is an I4 SOHC 8V. You can't just throw on a 1.8 turbo on a 2.0 and call it a day, so whoever put that it is the same is the fool... Not the person asking. Please do me a favor, before you idiots try to answer questions like this make sure you guys know what you're talking about, you're only gonna make bigger fools of yourselves tha you already are, so quit pretending, this isn't like one of your little '86 Honda low riders in south central or east Los Angeles with air ride and gold Daytons, So no the engine of a GTI is not the same, you can't just do a straight bolt on oem turbo... That's also why they make two different kinds of aftermarket turbo kits, one for the 1.8 and one for the 2.0, also there are slight variations in the years of the 1999-2001 Golf and the 2001-2005 engines, you can probably find this info on the forums or even wiki should have it,
