Anyone had any experience with The Engine Shop petrol waterboxers??
Looking at swapping my 1.9DG to something with a bit more go (but not a scooby before you all start!) Go Westy in the states also seem to be into pushing the waterboxer - at a price (http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_category.php?id=82)
Or do I just stick in a 2.1 and run it with the pierburg carb after sticking it on a rolling road?? options options .....

I have just bought a replacement 2.1DJ from Elite VW in Essex. I tried The Engine Shop but it took them ages to reply to my enquiry. I have found Elite VW good value and very helpful.

I've got a 2.0 big bore from the engine shop. Darren at air fix vw fitted it. took a while to settle down but once run in it's been lovely. i'd say you get a little more grunt. get you carb nicely set up and it should be good..

...don't forget you might want to stick a new clutch in while you're at it...
