engine transplants....
Hi all, a few veedubbers i have talked to so far are against any engine transplants in beetles, but if i was to consider doing this would a subaru wrx
2L turbo engine in the beetle be good? also would it be very costly to do? I have sourced some half cuts and the average is about $2200. |

Man, if you had a 2L rex engine in your dub, i would imagine that the cost would be well worth it.

Beware the legalities of Australian Design Rules and so forth. Might be fun, though you'd lose the tappety dak-dak engine sound, which I personally
adore.
