The EJ20T from Belgium in the conversion section is suppose to do 14.5s.
VWRXs is a full camper, so the 15.9 is very respectable.

That bus has helium front tyres. How can they lift that high and run the same times as me? I have heard a rumour of a photo where at willowbank I got
a millimetre or 2 of air under a front wheel but havent seen it.
I only dragged over the quarter twice, once in this pic at Willowbank with the old injection that was mid high 15's. Then one other time at the old
uphill eastern creek with then 'new' injection when it ran high 14's all day with a 14.6 fluked in somewhere. Slightly lower times were very
possible if I had the money for dyno time to set up the injeection properly.

A stock transaxle in a kombi is pretty tough, but no standard job will last to long with the HP/Tourque needed to get that ET.
As for mounting....A simple anwser is No...
In the standard bus the engine and trans moves way too much as it is... You will have to update both the engine and transaxle mounts...Its also a good
idea to upgrade/renew the suspension bushes and mounts.
But that same goes for any performance upgrade...You cant just bolt in HP and go....It will break eventually and a lot sooner with stock bits, than
with any hotrod bits...

I watched an early bay run 11.6 1/4 mile in US. 2332 turbo, kombi box solid mounted. Impressive.
It did however only manage it twice!
