Ok, ok! You Win! LOLI know Turbo's are "da Bomb". Sadly there were none at a good price around here SOO! i go N/a instead. I figure its better to start on an n/a (less complicated, and a little harder to blow up) so i dont ruin things too too quickly Some people suggested i put a VNT on it with a modded pump, and it would be kick ass. lol i think that's i route i might wanna go. lol

Everything bolts up the same if you get the right manifolds and such but you can't go crazy with it and expect it to last but if you get an EGT gauge and not let it get too hot it probably would be OK. But yes it is better to stay N/A and learn them real good first before you complicate things. Kind of like putting 10 pounds of *** in a 5 pound bag and wondering why it's all over your shoes :lol:
Plug and play. The exhaust matches up, don't worry about that. You might need to run an extra wire to the pump. I have seen a eco diesel pump from the states that had the solenoid on the advance like the canadian AAZ motor. Just wire it in with the stop solenoid. Since both are MK2 all the coolant hoses should match up. Does either have AC though? That'll mess your game up a little.[/quojsjste]Yeah The Jetta has AC -- it does not work -- that I was just going to remove.The TD is currently in a 1980 Caddy with a 2.5in downpipe so me thinks the hoses and what not should be a match to the 82 Jetta.
Quote from: "Kantdrivefast"I just did this with my 81 jetta, with a td from a 91. There is one hose thats kind of goofy. One from the heater core to the metal piece that goes to the water pump is two different sizes. I just cranked a hose clamp on it so hopefully it seals.Im doing a mk2 dash swap also so I have the diesel tachometer as well. Which will be much tougher than the engine swap Im thinking. And like others have said, new downpipe. Might as well build a nice big one. And while its out, put a pyrometer in the manifold.CAsThose oddball and expensive, different size hoses like the one you're talking about and the 3 outlet one on the oil cooler can easily be made yourself with different sized barbed brass fittings and hose clamps from Lowes ect. I think that oil cooler one alone is like $70 from Parts Place, I don't think I have $5 in the one I made.
