In a bus yes I would agree with you but in a bug most people would agree it's the EG33 that makes absolutely no sense and the EJ that is the logical choice.

They are a big heavy motor and as seen its a case of making the bug fit the engine not the other way around.
Last thing you want is more weight in the back of a bug and half the body cut away.

An EJ engine just falls in place and in standard form most of the turbo engines match if not better the EG33 for power and torque.
Not to mention the fact that EG33s are getting pretty old and rare as rocking horse shìt where as EJ are everywhere.
