If I was starting from scratch, the Bell housing would definatly be the way I would go. Not real fond of having an additional plate between the trans and Engine. In my case it would have given me an additional 5/8" for the badly needed Turbo plumbing. It allows you to us the Inexpensive Subaru starter and does away with the VW clutch design. You can buy a Subaru clutch setup that can handle 500HP.

There a little on the new side and I havent seen any used yet. But if you think about it it worth it after you add up the adapter and starter with a good clutch. The bellhousing one you use the stock suby clutch starter wich are stronger and redily avalible.

There are good and bad on both adapters. The KEP is simpler but you add a half inch to the motor setback,,,not a bad thing though. I have the starter thing worked out. The VW diesel starter whizzes my 3.3. It's $75 on ebay or $125 for a Bosch at O'rielleys. Then a slight mod. I have great luck out of a KEP stage 4 PP and 6 puck disc. The more VW stuff you have on your buggy the easier it is to get parts on the trail.
