Subject:Re: Tiico or not Tiico

I have a Tiico in my '88 wolfsburg, and really like it.....but.... the Tiico
has a resonance vibration that I have not been able to work out.  I am in the
process of changing to a Subaru boxer motor. The power output is also
comparable.  The 2.2  Subie puts out ~130hp, the 2.5 puts out ~165hp.  I
found a 3.3L flat six that puts out 230hp - compared to the 118hp with the
Tiico.  With a Subie, you either love it or hate it.  Try going to
www.turbovans.com and www.smallcar.com for more information.

I guess I should be happy with the Tiico.  It runs great.  I set the cruise
at 80mph and just go.  No problems with hills or long grades.  I have liked
the reliablilty it has given "Mother Goose" and has never let me down.  But,
that 3.3L six is calling my name...

Hope this helps....
