Having no experience with these modified VW engines myself I can't
defend their claims, nor can I deny them. Just thought I would show what
they have on their web site.

BTW: That 120 HP is not sustained full power, just for takeoff.

IMO I wouldn't call it a VW engine anymore, not with all of the
modifications they have done to it. The size of the jugs and all of the
changes to the original engine (including vastly increased cooling)
determines the power rating of the engine, not the crank shaft. That
is, assuming both it and the other original components, what ever is
left of them, can take the increased stresses.
