The beetle swap used to be popular, I think that the beetles are not as common now, as I haven't seen it for several years now.

The good thing about the beetle is that it is light. The biggest problem with a turbo rotary in a beetle is that the transaxle won't take the torque well. Maybe a braced Rhino case will take a bone-stock REW.

The FC is easier, but a lot more common too, what are you looking for?

Anyway, welcome to the club!
