eric, it is. The tiico kit is a converson that is APPROVED by VWofSA, but
not a VW kit. It was assambled my RemTronic in SA. That would explain
things why the front of the engine mounts have a 1" spacer tacked on (as
opposed to bent to fit the first time??) and why the air intake is not VW
but some other brand w/ no vw markings on it. Also, the wiring harness is
tape wound as opposed to in tubes like other VW's i've seen. And the
injectors are incorrect... should be an a2 fuel rail... ANd the throttle
cable is too long by 2".... and on and on and on....

IIRC, the current stock of vanagons in sa are inline 5's.
