I read a story in a Swedish mag about two engineers that welded together two
type 4 2,0 to make a 8-cylinder VW boxer. While the engine of course was a piece
of art in itself(it was sitting in the back of a fibreglass buggy!), the
injectionsystem was pure Vanagon 2,1 (euro) and they simply spliced in another
set of injectors, so that the computer didnt know if it was feeding 4 or 8
cylinders.
