This is an excerpt from the "start here" page in the google group,
just so that people don't get too confused, it is either 4 5 or 6
parts depending on the airbox option choice. If anyone wants more
info, let's get you into the google group so as not to drift too far
off topic here on the vanagon list.

v2.0 List of required parts:
(4/4/08)

- Engine (same engine call sheet as v1.x applies)
- Alternator (either salvage or new, for a 2001 Ford Focus DOHC engine)
- Power Steering pump (same call sheet as v1.x applies)
- Mass Air Flow Meter/AirFilter Options
    There are 3 options for the v2.0 Customers regarding the Airflow
meter/filter arrangement:
    1) stick with simply used MAF sensor and an open element filter
(as seen in photos of the v1.x kit)
        Pros: inexpensive, MAFs cost $25-$45 used, the open element
filter costs $45. Easy to install, nothing required
        Cons: noisier than the airbox option, if driving in dusty
environments, increased cleaning frequency is required

    2) Brand new airbox, MAF, and Panel filter.
        Pros: Easy to install, easy to source(just tell us), all brand
new(MAF is also new), quieter than open element filter
        Cons: Expensive ($225)

    3) Used Airbox and MAF
        Pros: Quieter than open element, less expensive than option
2($25-$45 for MAF, $20-$40 for airbox)
        Cons: More expensive than Open element, plastic legs must be
cut off of box in order to fit correctly(not difficult, but is extra
work)
