===You can do the Motronic thing (see here:
http://scirocco.psycode.com/ )

Or you can use a CIS head on the ABA shortblock (see
here: http://www.volkswagen.org/ click on engine
swaps)

Putting a 2.0 will require a knock sensor at a minimum
- it's a lot of work, but it can be done . . .

> Do you think this swap is worth it?

A very subjective question . . .  It will be for me if
I can find a reasonably priced short block . . .
