The non-turbo engines have a higher compression ratio, 10:1 opposed to 8:1, so you would not be able to run high boost without modifications. It would be fine on stock boost.
Does your 93 have separate cam and crank sensors?

I'm not sure if the gas mileage would be any better, but my TT does get better gas mileage than my NA-ATX.
It would make a great year round car. With the low power, the drivetrain would be virtually bullet proof. AWD sure footedness in the rain and snow. It would probably be more reliable over the long haul.

It sure would be slow though...but not likely as slow as my NA-ATX is now.
