Pete,
There are several reasons that I can think of for switching, none of
which imply that every member of the list ought to run out and find a VW
genny to put on their looper.
1) Capacity. The foremost reason would be the 30 amp capacity of the
Bosch unit compared to the original 20-25 of the OEM model.
2) Price. A rebuilt Bosch/VW unit goes for about $60, (plus a core
charge, if you don't have one to exchange).
3) Availability of parts.
4) Availability of repair facilities.
5) Cheap regulators. $10-35 vs. $45-115
Of course, the downside is that in order to get the thing to fit (right)
you will have to do/have done some machining. Is it worth the effort?
Heck, idunno'. I just enjoy a challenge once in a while.
