Also had a 1.9wbx in my bug. It went like the clappers. Like Beetlebuddies said, it's a lot of fun on a budget. I reckon a 2.1 with FI will be even nicer.

Friend of mine is busy with a 2.1. Only problem is you have to cut a bit to get the fuel rails in and out once the motor is fitted, and also to be able to fit the motor.
