I recently posted a question in the technical forum section and no one has really answered it. That may be because I failed to ask it correctly. Basically, does anyone know about this engine? I have heard positive things and negative things about them and I'm looking for a solid answer on if its a waste of money and time to get this engine. I live in Alaska were over heating desert conditions arent really a factor on the 92mm pistons. I have a dual port 1600cc stock engine with 5,000 miles on it and I want more hp and performance out of it but not so much that I spend close to what it would cost to drop a higher cc engine in. On the other hand still keep my engine reliable as an every day driver. I dont see the point in spending 1,000-1500 bucks on add on performance parts only to fall into the wanting more still not enough category. I can trade out my engine pluss $1400 to a well know vw engine builder in Lake Havasu, AZ and he'll trade me his freshly rebuilt 1835cc engine and install it. To me it sounded like a good deal but then again........I know absolute dookey about vw engines. So do I skip it and hold out for a 1915cc or take the deal....help.
