Suby-conversion advice?

[Rob]

I'm building an EJ25 into a '70 bug.
Looks like I'm the only one going non-turbo

I have a WRX, so I know what a turbo does, personally it scares the sh!t out of me to put a 227 HP motor in a 30 year old car.
I figured I'll start with an EJ25, and boost it later if the hunger for more power comes along

In any case, check out my website (in my sig) for details on the build up.

I use the stock ECU, mostly because it is a super low budget hackjob that I am doing, guys like VWRX, Jakriz etc are an a completely different league than me

A good rule of thumb is to make a budget, and then double it. There is sooo much little stuff that you don't think about, and it will add up the $$$ quickly.
I'm not trying to scare you, I actually encourage you, I've had mine running for a little bit and it was fantastic, the torque was addictive !
