	I should have made myself clear.  I didn't want to actually put a 
5 cylinder in my jetta, i was just curious.  The cost and effort is way 
above what I want to deal with.  The 2.0 liter is an interesting idea.  
Can you get it in 8 valve?  I tend to perfer the broader power curve of 
an 8v over a 16v (my parents have a Subaru Legacy, hence my bias toward 
8v).  Tom, about the new 20v turbo, did you know it is a diesel?  I 
really hate diesel.  Otherwise it would be a cool idea.
