Here's my Vanagon-S with Subaru WRX engine, 250 hp...I do all my own work. All the fabrication and welding is me!!
Only thing that was not done by me was the wiring harness, that was done by Smallcar.com in Tacoma Wa.

Very nice ride. I was especially interested in your rear vent/vents for ventilation of your intercooler. Did you custom make these or can they be acquired from a manufacturer? Thanks, Steve
