We've got the same problems with the newer beetles in Germany, even the latest 2001 models are tune-able, without affecting the gasses.
A real easy way is to leave the valve train stock and just do a bore up to 90,5mm (1776cc's) with slight modification to the heads. 3-angle valve job, a bit porting at the seats and a c/r of approx. 8.0:1 and a reworked combustion chamber will help your engine to around 65-70HP, but you'll run in problems with your restrictive exhaust system. Ix you have the original system, take a look on the new mex system. Maybe there is something for you.
