You will find all you need in the section so just ask or look above in the search tab .
There has been many bugs fitted with subaru EJ18 EJ20 EJ20G EJ22 , to date Subaru would be the most used motor swap into Vw. It up to you what your
looking for in a VW , some like bugs , other a bus or a wagon . Me I like the Notch back , all are cool rides & even better to see the reborn with
a new power plant in the rear.
An Ej20 G ( turbo motor ) can be purchased around $1500.00 c/w Harness & ecu . A stock single side gear box will last but if you do skids it will
fail after some time, up grades can be purchased.
Looking for that special lady : PM me for coffee & cake

A couple of questions first - don't take these the wrong way 
Do you know how much a beetle weighs?
What cars do your mates drive, what are you hoping to keep up with?
Are you less than 20 years old?
