Instead of the factory German designed motor this little Beetle is now powered by a rebuilt Subaru 2.0 EJ20G imported from Japan. The engine produces 205 horsepower on 9 psi of boost from a rebuilt TD04 turbocharger and Microsquirt controller. That&#8217;s about 6x more power than the original engine. A built Beetle KCR transmission with custom gears and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kennedyenginc.com\/\">Kennedy Engineered Products<\/a> Stage 2 clutch finds it way behind the engine thanks to a Kennedy Engineered Products adapter plate. Thanks to the increase in power the Beetle reaches 0-60 mph in about five seconds and averages 30-35 MPG.<\/p>\n<p><a
