may as well at least have stuck one in with a turbo hanging out of it!
Lad in our club is just putting a 2.2 scooby lump in his T25 using the RJES adaptor plate, and another lad in our club has a 2.2 scooby turbo lump in his ghia although he's never got round to finishing off the job!
There's a company in North Wales who were at Bus Types for the last couple of years with 2 of their T25's. One had the scooby conversion and the other had a 993 lump in it pushing out 340 bhp. To be fair the finished looked factory and the craftsmanship was superb, but at £15k ota for the conversion, it wanted to be!
Surprised not more people in the VW scene has stuck 5 pot lumps in the back given that they were available in South Africa. The gearbox/bell housing is the only real major cost.
