Hi everyone In Cape Town we have this well-known garage that regularly rebuilds and "converts" 2.1 engines. Their claim to fame is an increase in power from 82kw(110hp)to 100kw(135hp). Torque supposedly jumps from 174Nm to 204Nm. Apparently the modifications are on the engine itself and NOT the electronics. Too bad about the price though. At R18,500 it is about the same as getting my VW agent to install a brand-new I4 conversion (R 22,000). Think I'll still settle on a rebuild from .... "yours truly"!
