I'm suprized at the trouble you subaru people will go thru, (like making these circuits), to fit a cross bread engine. IF a Subaru is so good just go buy one. There are no issues like this with an inline vw engines to solve. Good engineering does things as simple as possible. VW kept things simple. You need to keep it that way. Eric

PS There is only 2 type's of people: VW type engineering people, and then there are engineering nightmares.
