Hi,

Well I dont really plan on doing the whole cam, intake,and performance
routine with a Vanagon.
I  have a friend with a VR6 that had to do a timing chain repair and had
to pull the tranny to get to it.
Poor engineering if you think about it. I also dont think
turbo\supercharging a Vanagon is really
worth the trouble either.

Thanks for the idea though,
Aaron
