in short: enlarge the valves and smooth off all the edges then match the manifolds

Dont enlarge the valves, it wil be as rough as a bears ass to drive.
Just by fitting the weber you can expect upto 10% more power, with a gti cam, exhaust manifold and system you could be looking at 90bhp.
Gas flowing is an art, dont let people kid you into thinking its all a matter of grind this and enlarge that, It aint..
Remember, the quickest mk 1s were 1.6s. vw fitted the 1.8 and gained 2bhp.
Do the mods right and enjoy.
