I've been looking at everyones pictures of their conversions......not really
a clean install...although I commend the effort

The closest clean install appears to be the Tiico South African......but I
would like either a 1.8T or a VR6, but does the VR6 fit under the
lid?....looking for broad torque and firm horsepower band, would eventually
install a 5 spd w/ 0.71 fifth overdrive.

Or should I bump the wasserboxer up in displacement and compression ratio
and keep it somewhat stock....hmmmm....no 5 spd w. this one
