I was just about to pull the trigger and start ordering parts for 2.5 Subaru conversion for my Syncro, but I would so much prefer to keep the WBX if I can have the same 170hp....this would be so perfect.

Please add me to the list:

Sure no problem, just added you, Im ramping up production of all the components as there has been an overwhelming demand for my kit. The turbo waterboxer kit will out perform a 2.5 suby due to the extra torque the turbo creates right were you need it most.
Thanks for your interest

I may have missed it somewhere but with the turbo is it expected that the stock internals will put up with the boost? Or is the turbo meant for a rebuilt engine with stronger internals?

Stock MV internals are completely fine for moderate boost, The important part is having fully programmable modern FI. With a built motor rpm and boost can be increased = more power

I have a Westy with a stock 1.9L with ~120k miles. I was interested in getting more power with a Subaru motor.

If I can achieve this with the WBX, what benefits do I gain with going with your kit. And also, would it be a good time to do a top-end rebuild at same time?

Hi, at 120,000 miles you should really think about a full rebuild not just a top end, as its a early 1.9 it has the early case with beetle t1 engine type bearings,the 1.9 are strong but dont get me wrong the subaru is a great option but it has it’s downfalls also and they usualy need a full rebuild too.

To the original poster, this is very cool stuff. Do you have one of these turbo upgrades actually installed in a Vanagon and driving down the highway at this point?

Ive built meny High HP turbo Waterboxers, im just about to start testing in the real world in my vanagon, but only for the base MV tune, there is nothing experimental or out of the ordinary with my FI kit, im using off the shelf part that have literally millions of reliable miles, reliability was one of my No.1 concerns so making it as simple and as few components as necessary was paramount.

Marco,

I think for us it is the right philosophy. I know I am as equally interested in reliability as performance. I believe most of us would be happy with ~150hp if there is no sacrifice in reliability.

thank you again for all your effort.

Yes, please get us more power where we will use it, like 120 hp at 3500 rpm. Don't bother quoting numbers at much over 4500 rpm, don't really need that.
