I'm told some people have had success by cranking up the fueling screw
(aka. the "smoke screw") on the 1.6 pump to increase fuel delivery.  This
would be a good thing to look for in the archives of the Audi-VW-Diesel
yahoo group, or post there and ask about it.  I know it's been discussed
there.

If you do go to the 1.9 pump you will need different injection lines as
well.  Some people have bent the 1.6 lines to fit, but most of them ended
up with broken lines later.  A broken line can strand you, of course.
