Since you're in SoCal ....
I'm not sure exactly when they were supposed to close, but you might try getting with Ron at FAT Performance in Orange before he retires, to both advise you on what to build, & to build it if there's enough time before he hangs up the wrenches. FAT Performance has been building T-IVs since the came out in the late 1960s - for both street & competition - & many/most of the other engine builders learned from him. If he can't build it for you, then he may be able to recco the best shop. Tuttle's in LA has been doing VW engine rebuilds for decades. A 2.0 with Euro heads would give you a boost of HP & TQ over the stock GA 2.0 or 1.7, but you may need to bump to mid-grade or premium gas. I don't know that going to carbs will solve your problem, as the D-jet EFI was a great system for those who knew how to tune them properly. You my try Bill Brewster in South OC (San Clemente IIRC) or Der Buggy in Garden Grove to see if they can sort out your D-jet issue, before jumping to a new motor. Bruce Stone/bdstone may also have a shop in the IE who knows T4 motors & D-jet. PS - I think the optimal bore/stroke max on a 1.7 without compromising heat & driveablity is 1911cc. Good Luck!
