Re: 16V upgrade opinions, please.

Been following this thread . . . 

It would be useful to know what kind of times this Jetta is currently
pulling in the QTR mile. Maybe the motor aint up to snuff, running
improperly,etc.

At 2000 lbs and a 2.0 16V it should easily devour any stock Civic . . .

Higher compression = more HP and torque. 

The adverse effects are....... none that I can think of except for the
higher octane needed for anything over 10-1. As a matter of fact, higher
CR burns fuel much more efficiently meaning cleaner emissions.
