Hi Scott,

Welcome aboard and you need to have a look through other forum topics. There is one called Non-VW engine conversions and this is where you will find the answers you are looking for. Yes, there are heaps of Subaru powered VW's on here and around Australia. Unless of course you were talking about and AWD conversion, which has also been done (overseas I think).

Have a look around and ask question, the people on here are only to friendly to help.

Also you can do a search to find things.

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
