WRX-Superbug-1

Vintage VW Beetles are pretty awesome when done up right, but power’s not really their strong suit..

Unless you swap in a WRX motor, like Jak Rizzo did here with his beloved Volkswagen Superbug. This daily driver puts out 204HP & 221 lb-ft of torque at the wheels on 8lbs of boost. He said the swap cost him around $3800 all said and done, but he did almost everything himself.

I think I may have just found my next project.. 🙂
