Message	Fair enough, I haven't seen one in person. So not, sure on that one. But, judging on pictures. It looks easier to change out spark plugs on the V8 than say fixing a boost leak close to the turbo on the VG in the engine bay. Every setup is going to have some drawbacks I'm sure. What caused your problem? Fueling as well or just years of hard use? If your motor is built out, why did it fail? How much power are you rolling around with daily?
