I had an E-22 shipped to me here in Alaska from Vanaru. While it took a little while to get all the details worked out, I now have several thousand miles on the engine. I couldn't agree more with what Ben's saying. I really do look for excuses to drive the van!. It's absolutely fantastic to have all the additional power, and sooooo quiet too! Mileage has improved measurably over the stock 2.1 WBX and no problems to report. For anyone sitting on the fence about it, I would do it again in a heartbeat! Best upgrade I have ever done to this van.
