Let's see:
For $5500 you can get...............
1. A complete 3.2 Carrera engine. That's 214hp and 195 lb-ft torque.
And installation isn't very complicated either.
2. A Chevy LS1 engine with everything needed, plus $ left over. 350hp and 350lb-ft torque with excellent fuel economy and reliability.
3. A variety of Subaru Turbo engines (plenty of $ left over), but I would never recommend a Subaru engine in a Porsche; that's going WAY too far in the dorky and cheesy department.
4. A 1.9 TDI engine (been done several times already). Stock has 90 hp/149 tq, with a chip/exhaust you can have 130hp/240 tq, AND get at least 35mpg in the Vanagon. And have $ left over.

Yes, but what you won't get in CA is a "pass" on your smog test.
