Now, how feasable is it to use an engine with close to 100 hp for a go
kart? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think it's very feasible. I have a Honda Odyssey, which is
bascially a 600lb go kart with 350cc engine, and it flies right along.
A VW engine would take much more of a chassis to support the engine. I
think what you want to build is a sandrail. Do a google search on
sandrail or go to sandrail.com to see more about these.
