Best chip for 98' ALH swap

Best chip for 98\' ALH swap

First... lemme explain....
About 2 days ago I was comin down mt. rainier when my timing belt broke on the 79' rabbit. Unfortunately it was in gear, and some pistons met some valves.

6 of the 8 valves have been mis-seated or severly bent in some way.

In lieu of my loss I resolved to get an ALH motor out of a 98' jetta/golf and swap it into my rabbit. The question lay here.

which chip(s) provide the best high-range performance. I prefer to drive at the very top of the power band, so which chip gives me the most power in that area, 3k-5k.

For those of you who don't know about the rabbit, it was naturally aspirated 1.6L hydro-head diesel. If there is a chip that provides power in the same range as my prior engine it would be nice to know about.

98 Jetta does not have an ALH motor.......
It has either an AHU or a 1Z.
They are 2 different animals.

98-2003 up New Beetle 99.5-2003 Jetta Golf use ALH it has a different turbo and eng mounting system it is a 1.9 90 BHP and 154 torgue the 96-97 Passat and the 97-99 A3 Jetta uses either a 1Z or an AHU which is 1.9 90 BHP and 149 torque and would probably be an easier swap
