Sean, the main thing that you'll have to do is install a 16v-appropriate
fuel rail: http://www.rossmachineracing.com/16vfuelrail.html To reuse your
Bosch fuel pressure regulator, you'll have to use an adaptor (which is
available from the same website). Anyway, the 8v unit is too short and will
foul the intake manifold. Chipping the ECU after that is an excellent idea.
Otherwise your rev limit will be too low, mixture will likely be lean,
amongst other issues, etc.

If your questions are VW-specific and not engineering related, you are
welcome to contact me off list.
