I have seen kits for the VW cars to turn their cars into a 6 speed, and although I have looked, haven't seen one for the 5 cylinder. I'm just brainstorming right now, but I have a theory that might be cool if it's not TOO expensive. 

Yes, however retrofit is not easy on cars that didn't already come
with a variant of the 01E transmission.  The UrS4 and UrS6, for example,
were sold in the US with an 01E-based 5-speed unit, and swapping to
the 01E 6-speed should be relatively easy.  Doing this on cars that came
with the 016 tranny (e.g., all type 44 manuals, quattro included, and 4Kq)
will be a lot more involved because the linkages are not the same,
and there are no factory pieces to use for conversion, so they have to
be custom.
