I am very happy with my 1776cc torque master 10. Still breaking her in, but the power is just what I was looking for. The mpg is just what he said it'd be. Fast friendly and always there to take care of you. Thanks Chico!

I purchased a turnkey 1776 engine for my 74 std beetle daily driver from Chico. Chico built and dynoed the engine (87hp @ 122 ft/bs torque). It arrived in good order with no damage. The engine sat on the pallet for several weeks while I finished some other things on the car. We finally got everything back together and after a few preliminary checks, the engine fired as if had ran the day before.
The engine now has about 1200 miles on it. It continues to get stronger, with a very wide power band. Without a doubt, one of the smoothest VW engines I have ever driven. The engine starts easily, is very drivable, has not overheated, and been virtually trouble-free.
All in all, Anibal Chico has been one of the best folks I have ever dealt with. Even though he builds high-dollar big horsepower engines, he took the time to help me decide exactly what I wanted and needed for my daily driver. He built my engine with quality parts and labor, and continues to support his customers well after the delivery. He has my respect, admiration, and recommendation.
