Or, you could do like I did and have a 2.5 liter Subaru engine installed out of a salvaged 2002 Subaru Forester to get 165 horse power and 145 foot pounds of...
Hey guys, George here. I was wondering which conversion you guys perferred. the 15 degree or the 50 degree? I like the advantage of the 50 degree in that it...
Hello George, I have never seen a 15 degree conversion, even the professionals here in Germany do it 50 degree and even in a Double Cab where you could do a 15...
Is it possible to put a diesel engine in a 1974 VW bus (air-cooled, stick shift, dual carbs)? If so, does anyone have any tips or know anyone who's done it or...
I recommend the 15 degree conversion for Turbo Charged motors. This is the angle that the factory designed the motor and the turbo charger to run at. The...
I have had a few customers buy adapter plates and starters from us to install I4s in their T2s. Most have been gasoline but one was a TDI. We don't sell the...
The oil return is no big deal, if done properly, and won't lead to early turbo failure. My van is a testament to that. Perhaps they have been using inferior...
Good Friday Morning to All, Friends am doing some exhaust system work on my 86 Vanagon and need a catalitic converter. It can be bad, except for the flanges...

I'm assuming all numbers given are from one mount, and that the two mounts used are the same? A picture would appreciated if one is available, so we can see...
These mounts are the same as what you would find on an Audi 100/200 here in North America. You will have to make some sort of bracket to make it work with the...
Just a note to all the conversion people out there. The KEP adapter allows the use of your stock 228 mm clutch. This is bigger than the diesel clutch. Also,...
I have to second Karl's assessment of the earlier TDI motors at 50 degrees. The work fine but attention to detail is important. However, David does make a good...
