My experience exactly, but I'll guess with a turbo, re-gearing would be nicer. m (Bostig Zetec in a Dehler syncro 16 camper)

The Bostig kit is $4000 and an engine with 30K cost me $500. Turbo option coming soon (I get one of the beta versions to test) The Zetec was designed by Cosworth as a 2.0T, so its made for a turbo. Not nec. to regear the tranny either. 20 mpg in my loaded syncro westy. Drives Sweeet..love it. Similar to a 2.2 Subie in power. OBDII electronics. Put it in and fergit it.. Never imagined the feeling of total trust in my rig till then...no more WBXer... Can you see me smilin'............ Daryl of AA Transaxle
