well...being one of the first - if not the first - to put a 2.3l type4 engine 
in my notch (last summer) - I can say this. It's definitley the way to go if 
you're not a "purist". I love it ! can't say enough about it ! I haven't run 
an aux. oil cooler (oil temps stayed low) And the engine is just LOADS of 
fun. Second gear starts are no problem -first gear is about 
useless.....unless you want to wear out your rear tires quickly ;D
I'm in the process of building a 2.6l for my bug right now - can't wait.
