Thanks Holland ( and everyone else) That's exactly what I wanted to hear. My GTi originally had a 2.0 and a hacked Motronic/CIS-E ignition/fuel management. Passat throttle-body, Motronic idle control valve(2 wire) and a tweaked CIS-E air box; it idled really crappy, but I loved the torque. Anyway I'm going to try to use the CIS-E that I have mostly because I'm cheap. I'd rather spend on a stronger clutch and an intake cam.
