>I was wondering, for future reference what would have to be done in order for me to change the 4 bolt wheel pattern to a porsche 5 bolt pattern? Also how hard would it be to have porsche disk brakes installed on my car, what would have to be done. Thanks you guys.

The cheap & dirty route would be to use adapters, but many many people recommend against them.  Best would be to either get your existing drums & rotors re-drilled for Porsche pattern (5x130mm, aircooled VW is 4x130mm) all the way around, or just get the rear drums re-drilled and use new rotors up front -- new Porsche pattern rotors are available from most vendors.
