These articles are based upon my years of research of books, catalogs, builders/tuners, drivers, direct observation and anywhere else that Type 4 information can be found. They reflect my opinions and points-of-view, but I welcome any counter opinion. I try to approach these articles as sensible and logical as possible, but I'm only human. I don't claim to know everything (that's impossible), but I feel that due to the lack of information around about the Type 4, these articles could be a starting point for the average high performance Volkswagen enthusiast. If you have some information and/or experience that you'd like to share here, please email the webmaster.

I also urge you to read the other websites listed in the Links page and form your own opinion. Many of these sites can provide you examples of Type 4 converted cars and to vendors who sell Type 4 parts and complete Type 4 engines.

Realize that as you read these articles, they are never "done". I will be constantly revising them, as I need to. To assist you, I've included a time stamp when each article was updated. This will help you to know whether that article has been updated since you last visited here.
