Kevin,
i would consider NOT getting a more powerful
wasserboxer. these are not time tested and true
engines. I would wait until there are more data points
on these engines. But even after 5K you stil have
inferior head gaskets. So really, is it worth it?

If want more juice, convert.  It is a time, skill,
patience and money sort of balance. If you have the
first 3, then for ~1500 you could be running a jetta
engine. good power, good speed, fast. reliable. well
known engines.  For about 2000 you could be running a
mechanical tdi.

if you want to stick with a wasserboxer: stick wtih
avp or boston bob.

i would avoid zs imports. check out his feedback on
ebay: vanamania.

that is my free knowledge of the ropes i've pulled
