TestimonialsAfter an unusually troublesome subaru EJ22 experience, I decided to take the leap and try something else. I'm glad I did. The Bostig kit is ridiculously complete - every nut, bolt, washer, and hose clamp is accounted for. The wiring harness, as advertised, is completely plug and play. No cutting, no splicing, no problem. The conversion parts are high quality, and the ability to buy new Ford parts off the shelf at any parts store in the nation is fantastic. I'm a simple hobby mechanic, and I found the conversion process to be amazingly easy and straightforward. The install videos and documentation are very complete and the support of both the Bostig community and Jim and Brady are top notch. And the end product is a pleasure to drive - smooth, quiet and reasonably powerful. Having OBD II diagnositics with no errant trouble codes, the ability to log engine data to troubleshoot if necessary, and the power to re-flash your own ECU as the Bostig crew develops and releases new tunes is truly impressive and simply unheard of at this pricepoint. The Bostig V2 is simply the best conversion option on the market today!

Bostig takes the curve out of "Learning Curve" and directs you down a
straight line. The zetec engine runs smooth and is very low maintenace. One of the best parts of the conversion is that there are no hidden costs. You know exactly what you are getting into. Chris
As a professional mechanic and transmission builder for the last 30+ years, I have, in the course of my business, dealt with and driven almost every conversion out there. The Zetec was an obvious choice for me as soon as I drove one. The 2.0L - 130hp engne gets 20 mpg in my Syncro Westy. It is quiet, plenty powerful and amazingly simple (with a turbo upgrade available soon.) The kit is so utterly complete it puts any other setup to shame.

Prior to doing the 2.0 conversion I had never changed my own oil, and couldn't tell a PS pump from an alternator. Bostig assured me I could do this and they were right. I turned every wrench myself on this conversion, learned a ton, and had a lot of fun. Anytime I was unsure of something I'd just call Bostig and they'd walk me through the next step. When I had issues, they helped me solve them. Big questions, little questions, whatever. The support is awesome and the difference in performance over stock is huge.

Bostig is the real deal. Trust me I'm a doctor. I had replaced my leaking head gaskets before but never done anything more major than that. I almost went the Subaru route but luckily found the Bostig boys and their Zetec conversion before I made what would have been for me a mistake. Now I have a reliable perfectly powered vanagon that I can easily maintain and for the first time in many years start enjoying again. Thanks Bostig.
Roy Mellor, MD 1985 Bostig Zetec Vanagon Westfalia GL I now have about 18,000 miles on the Zetec. My van runs like a normal car is supposed to run. I change the oil every 3000 and just go. We even have air conditioning. And I’m under Bostig’s warranty! Believe me, if you are considering a new engine for your vanagon, you will be very happy with the Zetec.

I am very satisfied with the Bostig 2.0 conversion. The kit is well put together and of very high quality. The video and written instructions are straightforward and complete, and Bostig's support is second to none. My van ('84 full Westy) is a completely different vehicle now. Reliable, clean running, and I can pass others while going uphill in 3rd gear! The total conversion time was about a week for me, but this includes about 3 days of engine compartment cleaning, undercoating, and other repairs while I was in there.
