  What with having an '83 5KTD, I think you'd be plesantly surprised 
with the power you'll have with that arrangement.  Nothing to really 
scream about but it's certainly pretty close to a stock Passat TDI.  
Maybe a little better on the highway and a little slower on acceleration. 
Been a long time so hard to say for sure.  Do a little work, up the boost 
a little, fueling quite a bit and an intercooler and it'd be real fun!  One 
of these days that's what'll happen to mine.  Sure would be nice if 
it was a Quattro.
