no,   not " me too "...if you have owned several VwS over the years, I do
not really think that power for a conversion is the true reason, well maybe
in a state where there are a lot of hills , but   personal opinion...it is a
good and reliable engine to leave quebec city, canada to drive down to
florida  anytime or  argentina sometime  without having to worry, about
hearing sounds, different sounds  then usual  heard  or  a light that
suddenly comes on , a smell , a vibration   and  trying to know what this  "
time"  is going wrong ???  two years ago  next  march, I had a vw long block
and a dealer rebuilt engine put in  for 4000.$ cdn  and I am always
thinking,   when I will have to rebuild again in the future ??? 1,2,5,10
years...next one  will be a conversion with a cummins truck engine if
somebody on this list tells me it is  the best ??? happy....whatever...
