hey and welcome, sleeper ideas. not going to suggest anything for the 8v but will give you some ideas
G60 swap
1.8t swap - keep diverter valve and youll hardly hear the turbo normally.
or one of these
R32 engine - BUB code
or if your very lucky
R36 engine -BWS - only fitted to the passat in the uk as far as im aware
( image originally from a google search that gave a wiki entry, this image is not copyrighted to torquecars but the original photographer )
one of the 1st two is your best bet for the 1.8t swaps look towards the
BFV - very rare special edition TT with 240 bhp standard
BAM or APX - 225 varient used in the seat Cupra R, S3, TT 225 etc. a simple remap on this gives around 280

Clicking the thumb expands the picture doesn't it?

sorted it myself. nope google just gave me a little thumbnail so copied the code below it. its fine now. least i can see it
OP - have found a snipped when looking for a smaller pic that this has been retrofitted to the Mk2. knew the g60 was avalible and the 1.8t and r32 were common. have also heard about a SR20DET (S14 200sx) being fitted although this was a Mk4 iirc and rear wheel drive the guy wanted something different to drift

Hello and welcome to TorqueCars, good to have you along. I had a play in an 8v Gti and was very impressed. I do agree with those that say they improve with age.
How much are you looking to spend on it and what are your plans for the car? A decent set of suspension and nice exhaust will transform the car IMHO.
