Swap a 2.3 turbo into the VW.

In my 200,00 miles in the different XR4Tis, the engine has never failed me.

Ok, once when the water pump failed. And if you count a timing belt with less than 20,000 miles on it, that would make two times for the 2.3.
More for other things like brake cylinders, alternators,ECUs.....but the engine itself is solid.

I've had a V-dub...one, and won't have another. I've had 3 XR4s, though. But good luck with yours!

Sets it apart... looks good. I like the nose, it looks E30-ish.

I'm all about the vw's, have had 4 (3 mk2, 1 mk3) in the past few years. Of everything I've owned, I've been most attached to them.

I don't understand the cabrio thing though, but I'm against most convertibles so my opinion isn't valid. Is it an 8v or 16? And CIS (mechanical) or digifant (electronic) fuel injection?

8V and CIS
