I've got a T4 engine in my bus and it's bloody good. Good points are, I suppose, unburstable bottom end, more torque, less oil changes. Bad points are that aftermarket parts are harder to get hold of, it's even harder to get good cylinder heads without paying through the nose, aftermarket zorst choice is more limited. Still think they're a better engine for the van tho'.

If ya want it to go up hills, T4 is the way )
