I was thinking... (danger, Will Robinson... Danger!) 100HP and 103TQ... that's like DOUBLE the power of the diesel in my Golf. Hell, that's pretty much the same power as most four cylinder cars on the market currently, close to it anyway. More than the older ones, comparable to the newer ones...

Seems like it'd be GREAT swap material, eh?
