Nice "looking" engine but if I spent $3500 for a WBX it would be with
GoWesty since I know who they are.  Not that this guy doesn't build great
engines, it's just that it would never pass the wife "sniff test".

Me-"Honey, I decided to get this cool engine on the Samba for $3,500".
Wife-"I thought you were only going to spend $1,500-$2,500 on the engine."
Me-"Yeah, but look at all this "stuff" this guy adds!"
Wife-"What do you need that for?"
Me-"That makes it run better and last longer."
Wife-"You mean the one you were going to buy was no good?"
Me-"No, it's just that this one's better!"
Wife-"How do you know it's better?"
Me-"Look how he's painted the manifold that cool color and look at these
cool parts I don't even recognize as being from a WBX.  Plus read this
description of how great it is."
Wife-"If it's twice as much as the engine you were going to get, will it
last twice as long?"
Me- "I dunno..."

Some of you may recognize this conversation.
