Your absolutely right. I called Peter at Tiico today on other business, and mentioned this to him. He laughed. He said that he has been on an aggressive dealer campaign marketing his kit because of the situation with the engine cores. He said Cummins rebuilds them for VWoNA. Still a good option for VW owners with their stock boat anchor in the back. Or a soob.
