i bought it in june of '04 after my ex and i broke up. 😛 it has 145,000 on the clock (barely broken in for one of these cars, they usually hit 300k no prob.) here is a little list of what i have done to it: [http://www.dubsinthebuff.com/forum/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=21](http://www.dubsinthebuff.com/forum/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=21) the drivetrain is capable of handling close to 500 HP, but it is mighty expensive and time consuming to accomplish. it is probably going to be an after college project. i think i am going to use an MC code 5 cyl 10v turbo and use a megasquirt fueling setup. similar setups have been putting close to 400 hp at all four wheels. that would keep me happy for a while. ---

I always wanted a Vigor or 2.5TL so that I could say I have a 5 cylinder. We could start a board. We’d get a ton of traffic. ---

We’d get a ton of traffic. haha a ton of traffic from: late model volvo owners, old audi people, Vigor/2.5TL people, Chevy Colorado/GMC canyon owners and old mercedes benz Diesel people. oh and lets not forget the sprinter van enthusiasts… i have a silly love for the sound of a 5 cyl. i find myself using those GM little trucks mentioned before as runners at work just so i can listen to that “wookie” growl. ---

> [@The\_Russian](#): > > i thought sprinter vans had the 318 magnum V8 nope. a 5 cyl turbo diesel made by mercedes. i have heard that they are capable of getting close to 30 MPG. i have driven a few and they aren’t too bad for a big van. ---
