I've also been looking for one of these, but its hard to find them around town... they're always in and then back out of inventory.
With a $300 upsolute chip it bumps hp to 116 and torque to 195... and torque comes on full under 2k 
Plus, it gets almost 50 mpg at 75mph and almost 60 when cruising at 55... amazing cars.
You'll have to get used to a FAR lower redline though, no more screaming through the gears
TBH, the jetta wagon is a little on the heavy side for that engine. now the 4 dr. golf OTOH, very quick with that motor. torque is everywhere
