Wouldn't try it. I don't have a wasser-boxer, but have seen a bunch of them
in pieces...the head gaskets aren't set up to contain much pressure...they
are kind of the weak link already.

One of our listees, Robert Lilley created a dependable strong wasser-boxer
through smart and simple means. He claims it has 500 hp and can reliably
carry a neighborhood full of adults to 150 mph in 6 seconds, and drive over
the Rocky Mountains at that same speed.  ...or something like that. Ask him
whattodo.

Hello Vanagon Friends

    I'm new to the list but not THE CAR.
    I read a message written by John Benditt in which he mentions
    adding a blower for 150 HP. Has there been any R&orD regarding this
    application? I like my wasserboxer but more power is appealing.
    NO, I don't want a Subaru or other unrelated transplant option, thanks.
