Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

Slick 50 racing 16 Valve MK2s in the UK had 239mm vented brakes in the mid 80s. They were not allowed to fit larger diameter discs, they could be grooved etc and pads were free.
These racers were running upto 180bhp on basically std brakes. A mate of mine has a 175bhp Turbo technics mk1 with std mk1 brakes AND pads and he never complains about not being able to stop.
From a money point of view I don't think building an 8V and then a 16V makes sense. You can build an engine with the aid of the internet/forums and a Haynes manual.
