think this is an older VE type. I prefer the older engine although I guess the
BEW can make more serious power. In any case a stage 1 tune takes it to 110hp

I think a diesel would be too noisy in a convertible. In particular,
the VW diesels generate an amazing amount of intake noise at higher RPM,
and that would get old in a hurry on the freeway. Also, the early 1.5L
diesels had chronic head gasket

with my old VW rabbit diesel 4 door on a regular 40 mile commute on a 2
