Re: i need help with my bone stock 91 Jetta GLI (puffmaster)
That definitely sounds like a vacuum leak to me. Might want to inspect all your tubing connections and check the intake boot for cracks. Pretty common.
You think the 16v motor is gutless? Try driving a stock 8v and compare it to yours. You must have one beat-up motor, my friend. Either that or you are used to driving cars with hundreds of horsepower. The 16v is a fantastic engine when in-tune. How many miles are on it? For $2000 the car can't be in perfect condition... I have only thrown a couple of minor modifications at it and my car flies like a bat outta hell. I pull impressive times on the 1/4 strip also. Get some cams in that baby along with a chip, exhaust, and K&N filter and you'll love it.
Don't know how well the Audi motor would work...they mount differently first off (VW engines are transverse). Then again I'm not swap expert.

Honestly, get the motor running right, have some performance items installed, and you should be set. Or, you can always drop in a VR6 or 1.8T....
