I finally installed my 01 ALH tdi in my 92' jetta. Specs: 01 ALH 39K miles, 1.6td KKK turbo, AAZ intake manifold, 11mm mechanical injected pump from I believe a Fiat. Auto tdi injectors as a baseline. Complete intercooler setup from a A2 golf GTD.

Took the glow plugs out primed the pump, tightened the injectors lines and glow plugs, and the engine fired right up without any hesitation or help from the glow plugs. Engine was completely cold, very impressive. Seems to run very nicely although the exhaust is not hooked up so it's a little loud.

I installed a CTN 02A tdi tranny and a complete plus 1, 5 lug suspension setup from a corrado vr6. Brakes, disc all around w/ 11" front rotors and audi dual piston front calipers, upgraded MC.

Hopefully, I'll be able to road test it this week. A lot of little things to sort out. If anyone is interested I'll keep you posted.

wow sounds awesome! Which audi calipers are you using? Is it the audi coupe ones? I have an audi 80 and they run same calipers as g60 as far as I can figure (or very similar mII type) they are 180mm. I really want to run them on my late A2 16v gti hubs but havnt got round to seeing if the caliper holes will line up.

Any idea which fiat the pump is from?

I finally took the car for a short ride and the cars comes on boost very quickly, set for stock boost levels 12psi........no tach hooked up yet.......engine runs very cool, maybe caused by the automatic tdi injectors and 2.25" exhaust. One thing I have noticed is the governor is coming in too early to unlock the potential of the motor/turbo setup. the 11mm pump was for a fiat truck I believe and the governor needs to be modified/removed. The ALH engine with mechanical pump is a tight fit in an A2 jetta....pump boost aneroid comes very close to the hood.

Once I finish installing lights and such I'll be ble to take it for a good ride to get a better feel. The plus one corrado vr6 front suspension and audi dual piston brakes are absolutely fantastic. I ended up using passat vr6 springs all around and trimmed them to get the ride height to approx stock level. The car actually is very close to stock ride height maybe a hair lower, but it corners like it's on rails and the brakes are simply awesome....great modualtion. To say I'm pleased so far would be an understatement

the audi calipers are from an audi turbo...dual piston they are stamped Girling "60" on the caliper and are dual piston. The stock vw corrado calipers are Girling "54" single piston...are very good caliper, but I got a great deal on the dual piston ones so I had to put them on.

That is from the Audi 5000 Turbo right?

What year Passat springs did you use?
I presume you had to trim a substantial amount off the rears?

I think the springs were from a 1993 B3 passat VR6. The fronts maybe a full coil...and the rear it was maybe two coils...I have FK rear shocks w/ adjustable perches. The coils were cut with a cut off wheel and I had the springs sitting in a bucket of cold water to keep the metal cool. THe spring rate is just about perfect...firm but not harsh and it still has the full travel for these awful massachusetts roads.

I took some pics with the intercooler setup..but I do not have or setup any web hosting. Sad but I'm pretty much a computer dummy. If anyone wants to host them I can send them to you.

thanks
