Hi,
  Eurospec is a company in Gilroy. A subsid of Overland Parts. They made
  64 units, before going byby. The vendors that bought the engines, had to
  buy two units at about $4,100. each. They were to sell the units for
  $4,995.00 + labor. There was from the start, no customer support. The
  one person who held it all together, bolted! Why, I don't know. But when
  he left, he took all the parts and memory with him. I think his name was
  Dave. They were very carefull to remove serial #'s from the ECU's, so
  there was no tracing parts. Anyway, I lost about four months and had to
  finally have the Eurospec GTI engine removed by the installer. I didn't
  have to pay for the engine, just a gigantic waste of time and money.
  We finally had a Subaru Legacy 2.2 engine(135hp) installed in our '90
  Wolfsburg Carat
  Kennedy Engineering Kit. The installer is an Electrical Engineer by trade
  who is into perfection.  He lives in Torrance, CA.
  If anybody tries to sell you on a Eurospec transplant,don't do it!!!
  Thanks for listening, Steve Goldstein
