Best 4 cyl for horsepower?

The issue is with the AAZ 1.9TD crank nose. Over time the pulley on the crank will loosen off, start to wobble and then start to walk off the crank. When this happens the timing goes and WAMO, catastrophic failure. This problem seems to be caused by back forces from the alternator and the extra power of the 1.9, it's also caused by people not using new crank bolts when the timing belt is replaced. The accepted solution is to machine the cranknose to accept a 1.9TDI crank and install the TDI's clutched alternator pulley. The 1.9TDI's do not suffer this problem. www.vwdiesel.net has many threads on this.
My new to me 1.9TD Golf just started to do the death crank wobble.

That boat conversion looks cool.
