VW credits that engine (K series) with 45 BHP, the T series (dual 
carb 1600) with 54 BHP and the U series (1600 FI) with 54 BHP. This 
is from the microfilm, not from the US sales lit.

They must have been using a different standard for BHP than we are 
used to, but any way you look at it, the K series engine performance 
is way down.
