Of course you are correct! But the big problem is that the people that is
interested in upgrading the Vanagon (I'm talking people that don't know this
list) often see the wbx as nothing but a heap of problems, and they decide that
it must go faster than fast! Because of this, they don't give the wbx a second
thought, and just scrap it. The sad thing is that the same people have no
problem trying to haul out 180 hp from a Beetle (the old), without knowing that
the wbx is the very same engine.

I must admit I have been thinking about a conversion for my Syncro, but I have
new faith in the wbx after Robert Lilley's fine work. Cant wait to get your CD
Robert!
