Sounds like it might be a twin turbo set up.  With that much power it would
probably match up with the stock vanagon transmission gearing with no
problems.  Would probably have to move up to a KEP high pressure clutch
though.  A picture that I cant locate again showed what was supposedly a
vehicle with the prototype engine in it.  It still had the typical sloped
subaru nose so I am wondering about the height of the engine and if the
engine was really in that vehicle.
