I have a WBX modified to about Lilley specs or better sittin on the ground waitng for me to sell. Bostom Bob big valve heads, cam, ratio rockers,etc with only 700 miles on it after total rebuild. After 700 miles I swaped it out for a Zetec...Why you ask??? Still a 2.1 boxer ...just never quite fit the bill with me..Yes, it makes what I would guess a 10 or maybe15 "seat of the pants HP" difference in power..Much better with the turbo, but..here it comes..Still a WBX.. that I was never comfortable with and didn't want (or don't know how) to go thru and create a fuel managment system to go with the turbo.
