I don't think I spend more on the engine than a complete STi engine would have costed incl. an upgrade for the STi engine as they don't give that much hp in stock form
Your type of mill is what I am recomending. the Sti Engine is heavier, more fabrication needed. And th extra weight of the coolant is also an issue. I personally love air cooled power. But never a fan of the overstressed type 1. Thats why I recomended the type 4. I was going to turbo my 2.8 (left compression 8.0:1 just in case) but the power right now is acceptable. But still looking into it. That is if I can convince Marty Stagg From Staggs Racing to build me the manifold I want.

This is an old thread....

For those who are wondering. Carb'd 2275 is ready for install, and a 2332EFI turbo is on the stand.

Some more carnage pics of that aspirated 2332EFI:
