Looks like another dealer reselling Overland / Eurospec parts... I do like the exhaust note of those 5 cylinder motors! I think the 1.8t would be simpler to install and offer more power and better mileage though. I just can't help but think that for 7500 USD you can get a TDI engine *installed* in you Vanagon!

I ran across the website offering this engine for sale. Seems interesting.Prices START at $7500. for those folks that want to change the WBX.

That is a lot of money for an engine, you could get you a built WBX, a lot of new parts and a 5 speed gearbox for less. |
