Is the Mk4 VW Golf GTI engine same as 2.0 engine?

The Mk4 VW Golf GTI did *not* have the same engine as the regular 2.0 engine. While both were 2.0 liter engines, the GTI's was a turbocharged engine (1.8T) and the standard 2.0 engine was naturally aspirated.

Here's a breakdown:

* Mk4 Golf GTI: The 1.8T engine was turbocharged and produced significantly more power than the naturally aspirated 2.0L engine.

* Mk4 Golf (Standard): The 2.0L engine was naturally aspirated and produced less power than the 1.8T engine.

So, while both engines were 2.0 liters, the GTI engine was a different type of engine with more performance due to the turbocharger.
