Larry's comments always must be taken with a grain of salt.

The thing he doesn't realize is that Scirocco 16v parts
will be a LOT harder to find in England as they were rarely
imported there, making the conversion more difficult.  It
can be done though.  The main thing to remember is that
you're working with basically an Mk 1 Golf chassis, not the
Mk 2 Golf, therefore some bits don't interchange well. 
(You will NOT be able to use an Mk 2 Golf exhaust manifold
for instance.)

Plus you guys got some higher power 8v cars too, very
tunable.  I would look seriously into going that route.

Welcome to the list!
