This is what I'd do.
However, with a chamber like that (with the spark plug perfectly in the center of the chamber) I'll bet that produces a pretty quick and efficient burn already. I guess it couldn't hurt, however.

What car is this head from? I have a 20 valve VW Passat 1.8 turbo engine and was wondering if this is a 20 valve head as well.

This is a 20v engine and Its from a toyota Levin ae111, only available in Japan and Sth Africa. It sure isnt what its in now though. I am currently using the earlier engine that came out of the front wheel drive ae101 but I converted it to rear wheel drive and I have it in my ae86

I found some pics of the head that's most likely in my car. Based on the pics, it seems to be more groove friendly than the one shown in these pics. Would you agree and would you say that, given the design, the best approach would be three grooves?

it looks suprisingly simular to the earlier toyota head. What you have draw looks right, be very carefull though as you dont want to take much material out and go too far. Perhaps dummy fit a gasket into place and then make an outline for you to use as a guide on how far to go?

Remember, the piston top is part of the combustion chamber too. With a five-valve head, you have a very efficient head to start with.

efficient yes but not as efficient as a good 4V head, afterall after a certain engine size a 4V head will outpeform a 5V head in all non forced induction situations
