>>Does anybody have any input on a K&N filter?

Yes, a K&N will add approximately 45 horsepower to
your wasserboxer.  Your top speed should become about
130mph, so get speed rated tires.  Your will get about
35mpg.  It's money well spent, because everyone knows
that this filter is performs like a supercharger.

Also, I recommend a superturbomondolargo muffler
preferably with an exhaust tip about 8 inches wide.
Quad four sparkplugs are also a must.  Blue headlights
(not the real HID's, but those $4.95 halogen bulbs
with a dab of blue paint) and some neon lights in and
under your van will also enhance your performance.
Finally, for true horsepower gains put a "TYPE R" and
"VTEC" sticker on the van.

I've tried these modifications on my vanagon, toyotas,
lawnmower, and generator.  Significant improvements in
power and gas mileage with all.  No real experience
with hopping up kitchen appliances, but a K&N would
look good on my blender...
