  Thanks Scott...I will look at getting one of those sachs kits, though if I
don't need the pressure plate I would rather just do the disc... am thinking
I may be able to finish my whole engine upgrade for under $500 when all is
done.  Not bad for perhaps 20% more power and torque plus the forged crank
upgrade and the under piston oilers that come with the newer 2.0 jetta
block..
  I still have to find an exhaust guy to weld me up a merge collector and
bend a special downpipe to go back and around the rear of the oil pan....if
I take the trouble to incorporate the dual outlet exhaust manifold I have
from the newer head...I may blow that off till later and use my existing
one..I can pop the head off with a few hours work anytime.. I think the
exhaust might be better done with the motor in the chassis anyhow...the
clearances are pretty tight for the exhaust routing in the 50 degree slant
mount..
