This will be my maiden voyage.....My '83 westy died yesterday at 252,000 mi
may she rest in peace. Now the search is on for the proper engine
replacement......I've heard many things : 1. Waterboxers suck and that I
should put one of them GTI conversions in , which seems a
a bit pricey
2. Fast German auto says they have a Stage 2 thingy that will produce more
horsepower, but my mechanic say he doubts that I'll ever get the thing smoged
in California !
3.That APV has a 1.9 to 2.1 conversion thing that will offer more horse and
still meet the emissions requirement of this great state of mine.
4. My mechanic says "stick with stock"
Not being a work on it myself type of guy I am deep in quandary that all I
can do is stay up late and watch re-runs of Jerry Springer!  Since I'm gonna
spend the money, I want to get the best possible for my companion of  12
years, and also would like to get a bit more power for myself.............I
would love to get the advice of others that have been down the road I'm about
to travel

Thanks
