[tech] help-building a 2.1L 16v

["Ryan Schuermann" <rts@phoenix.net>]

I figure this is going to be my show car route, as I just think the 
16v makes for a nicer looking engine. The only thing is..i want
300hp at the minimum.  I've shopped and called around and come
to a 'battle plan' so to speak. 

either I can buy a tuned 2.1L for (pick your tuner) or assemble
the parts and have it machined locally. Now, this is where I get 
confused..it seems to me, buying a crank, pistons, seals, bearings
and other misc parts, buying a 2.0L short block, having it and my1.8L 
head machined, and assembled looks to run a little cheaper than buying
a tuners...am I wrong??

Also, can I keep my Jetronic fuel system? or will I want/have to 
upgrade to a different feul system?..Motronic?EFI?..I'm no whiz when 
it comes to the feul system.

now out of the engine I can say..get around 200hp?..any way anyone 
knows where i can get more? Yeah a turbo but no way a turbo is going 
to be good for +100 ponies eh?

oh yeah one final thing..I know the passat and gti 2.0L have the 
intake on the passenger side..but I can just use a scirocco manifold 
right? it'll bolt up eh?

ugg this is frustrating not having any tuners local than I can hang 
around and badger for this info that i so desperately want to 
understand.
