I'm no tuning expert, but...Once you drop a 1.8L in, there isn't much
else you can do performance wise. Well exceptfor a new cam. I would
seriously go with a 2.0L,that way you can get the most out of any
mods you do, be able to slap on a turbo system,and just plain start 
out with more HP at the baseline. Hell if your bent on a 1.8L I'd
love to sell you mine so I could drop in a 16v 2.0L.
