Passat 2.0 liter questions

[amalventano1 at tds.net (Allyn)]

if you want more bottom end, by all means use the 2.0 head, but realize it 
flows less up top.
using a 1.8 head basically gives you some free porting.
if you plan to port/polish down the road, starting with a 1.8 head makes it 
easier as you have much less material to remove.
