my old bus
this is my other bus with subie turbo. It has been around for nearly 7 years now, long b4 most were using the rex turbo. it has been good to me but
the punch from the v6 straight off the line is more fun than the turbo. the v6 smokes em up at half throttle

That is the way to go!!!! I always reckonded this would be a good option when the V6 first came out but prob more affordable now. It'd be nice in
the back of the Desert Splitty.

after seeing this bus in the flesh, and seeing and hearing what it goes like, I can tell you all it is awesome.
The engine looks like it belongs there.
Congratulations on a job well done.

Are the 2.4's much cheaper? (the audi's that is) Don't think VW used the 2.4's.

I am not sure? , I did get this engine fairly cheap ,i checked prices around and wrecker in Sydney offered me a short engine for $ 4,000 . I thought
that was a little steep.
the early v6 is certainly alot cheaper and more readily available
