Les, I'm friends with coupple guys with MKI Sciroccos with 2l 16Vs. Both of them have ported, decked, 5 angle valve job, 1.8l 16V heads mated to a stock rebuilt 2l block, with stock scirocco 16V intake manifolds, running CIS-E injection. Both of them are pushing upwards of 170hp (@ the flywheel). I've seen the dyno plots.
Another guy I know has a 2l 16V Jetta with oversized pistons, done head, Schrick Cams, JE Pistons, Euro Intake Manifold, G Chip and a 4K tranny with longer 5th gear. From what I'm told he's pushing 200hp and I've heard stories from good friends who say that he can keep up with Vette's and M3's on the highway. Last I heard, he was considering going to Individual Throttle Bodies. Ambitious: Yes, Impossible: No. I'm hoping it will be a fun project getting up there.
