<< Stick with your engine and upgrade the performace with the ECU chip and rocker upgrade kit from Kyle Wade from www.volks-motorsports.com . For about $800 (not including labor) you will get better performance (torque and HP) than for $5000 plus labor. Or call fast German auto in VW trends magazine. Besides, that $5000 kit isn't available for a syncro anyway. Bye. Michael Modl 87 syncro quattro >>

Only problem with this idea is that yes you have better preformance at lower cost, but you also are still stuck with the waterboxer motor and all the woes that go with it. Also do we know this performance package's effect on our already troublesome heads and head gaskets? I would rather not have to sniff for coolant ever time I pass the rear of the van.
