Either just the 2.0L bottom end transplanted underneath your k-jet head, or the whole ABF engine + loom into your Mk2. Use the search function to find out more.

Can't think of any other component that would upgrade the power of your Mk2.

A very very tiny performance increase.

Use the 2.0 ABF bottom end on you head, you would a good gain in torque.
