"what are my options" - That is THE hardest question to answer
How much do YOU want to spend
How much are you going to do your self
The simplest answer is to read the options given on this site
http://www.aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles.htm
First read "getting the most of you stock VW"
These are "bolt on" options that dont involve splitting the case
Then read "deciding to build a hi po VW"
Futue te ipsum!!!

i'd like a bit more power, but not over the top, and a good price. i don't have the biggest budget at the moment so i'm just doing
little things

The first thing I did was throw on a set of extractors on my T3. Minor perf lift, but some good noise!
It's cheap, and you can do it yourself in 30 mins.

performance would be quiet a remarkable difference. as i understand it type III's generate about 65hp and a combi has about 90, that's about
a 20% increase. difficulty..........? well i'm about to find out. i have posted 'Combi fi 2ltr into a Type III Fasty' with some
questions, looking for some answers. but hey, how hard could it be? |

dont go a bus engine as they cost heaps to buy, costs heaps to re-co and is a bit of work to get fitted correctly. and not too mention weigh a frikin
tonne !
Go talk to your mech. and he should point u in the right direction, prices and all.
maybe a 1776 with a good cam to start and then save for some bigger carbies.
If u put extractors on u wont have heating

would anyone here know the weight difference between the two?
'Cause admittedley that's one of my many concerns of making a Combi powered Fasty. As for not having heaters, it's been about 6 winters
ago since I've had 'em hooked up! Besides, if I go a 2ltr fi, no modifications will be applied, too many bad as well as expensive
experience's over the years |

would you like to talk to someone
that has done it themselves.?
Think his name is Heath he works at this VW specialist out west ( Syd ) you could call 4722 9313 and ask them.
My suggestion would be the Extractors , ( can the air cleaner be made less restrictive ? ) and a Good tune, Could you go slightly lower profile tyres
as this will give it quicker acceleration.
