Unfortunately $$ is always a constrain but would be interesting.

This is what makes this whole hobby so Interesting.New developments like this give hope for the future .This might one day be the chosen power plants for the future GL Tuners/modifiers.Tuning and modifying has been happening since the 70's, who's to say that 20 years from now this would not be THE engine of choice for VW engine conversion enthusiasts of the future.Would anyone of predicted in the 70's that in 2013 people would be running 300 bhp+ motors in street legal bugs.I one day dream of owning a flat six diesel engine in a camper running on pure veg oil.Or even some kind of water based fuel system,who knows.
