I posted this question on the Vortex FI board and got less-than-desirable answers. Maybe you guys can help:

I have a complete JH engine that was rebuilt ~15k miles ago by the PO. But it seems apparent to me that a X-flow head would offer a better advantage in terms of distance from the heat of the exhaust manifold versus the JH head (not to mention supposed closer proximity to any IC piping...)

But using a x-flow head in an mk1 scirocco would most likely require some reasonably extensive modifications to the intake and throttle linkages, right? 
It's not that I'd be opposed to that or the $$ required if the benefit was significant enough, I'm just curious if the bang is worth the buck in this case...  The goal is: 
~200hp (streetable (@ ~15psi?)), scirocco 16v throttle body, A5KTQ IC, and SDS (most likely) EFI

Thanks in advance, JT
