REALLY, DOES it simply bolt up?  Or do you have to fabricate something other
than a muffler strap (As in mine)

Is the engine NEW?
What about the HEAT from the turbo? Or do you leave the turbo off and have
the same power issue?
What are the rebuild costs?
Timing belt replacement?

Is it really all that better?
My Wasserboxer is in the 130HP range and a few other mods 150HP to 200 HP+ is
possible, with all the reliability of a stock.
