Alan:

I have a ton of conversion info at:
http://www.relitech.com/tomc/tomvw.htm

Since you say that a mechanic will be installing it, he would probably be
most willing to install the Eurospec engine. That way, there should be no
"suprises".
Good luck!

Hello everyone,

I am new to the list and I am having a good time with all the information
that flows so freely...maybe too freely.

Anyway, I am the proud owner of a '91 Carat that now has a toasted
wasserboxer.  I am in the process of researching how to fix it and I would
like your input.  Here are some of the things I am considering:
a.. The Eurospec sport 2.0 in-line 4cyl GTI conversion
    b.. The Subaru legacy conversion
    c.. Anything I haven't heard of yet
    Please tell me your thoughts on these.  I want more power and I want to
get away from the head gasket issue.  My inclination is to stay with a VW
engine but I am also a cheapskate.  My other constraint is that my
technical expertise and available time is limited at best so I would like
to find a good mechanic to install it.

Has anyone done the Eurospec conversion?  How about a VR6?

I am leaving for Germany on Sunday and in two weeks I am going to tour the
T4 plant in Hannover where they make the Eurovan.  My German friend used to
work there so I am hoping to talk to some people there about conversions.
 Maybe I'll come home with a new VR6 in my suitcase!

Any info you may have would be helpful.

Thanks,

Alan
