The KEP adaptor kit I'm using is referred to by KEP as a "Rabbit"
style kit. (15 degree). So yes, the Jetta engine in my Vanagon is
mounted at the stock "Jetta" angle. And from memory, the engine in a
Jetta "looks" to be the same angle.

Thanks again for the help!

I really hope to start "buttoning this up" once I make the exhaust.
