Cost some bucks to buy and = install. It's alot easier if you put it into a vehicle with the 2.1 engine hole. Plus = you can use the cat and muffler from the 2.1L engine.

BUT you get a BRAND NEW golf engine (a = real workhorse), with the hot motronic control, no head gasket problems, = more torque and power, a higher RPM engine (read higher speed with less work) and it goes at minimum like a "normal" car and at best like a = raped ape. Plus it's all VW with all VW parts available at = your local parts place. I was impressed with all those familiar 9 digit VW = codes stamped on EVERYTHING. BTW it's the only conversion endorsed by = Volkswagen (if that means anything to you).
