do governor mod
upgrade intake
upgrade exhaust
increase boost
increase fueling
add pyro and boost gauges
advance timing over stock
add intercooler if over 15psi

any questions?
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

For the swap, from what I know, it's gas tank, fuel sender unit that goes in the tank, motor (obviously), depending on your tranny then possibly could leave it, diesel starter(more torque), wiring harnes, and cluster. Not sure about the fuses and relays, hopefully someone else adds that in.

I know I'm forgetting something...

GL with the swap, diesels are fun and easy to play with to get what you want.

Just remember, once you go clack, you never go back.

leave the existing tank, and if its in good shape, you can even use your existing in-tank lift pump..

i deleted mine, and installed a diesel fuel pickup, and gutted the restrictor from the fill spout..

left the gasser fuel lines there too..

removed the ECU and harness, kept the gauge harness..

if you install a ABS relay into the fuel pump socket on the fuse panel, then you will be able to use that circuit to energize the fuel shut off..

the biggest headache i had, was my in-tank lift pump failing.. when they fail, you run out of fuel RIGHT NOW, unless your tank is plumb full..

just swapped a mk2 from gas to diesel this spring.. still pretty fresh in my mind if you have any specific questions..

ALSO, i had to add glow plug wiring.. made up a manual control system..

Is this your 92 GLI Jetta? Is that the best/ latest year gasser MK2 Jetta? How much is a rust free example in exc condition worth? Since diesel MK2 Jetta's are rare and hard to find in exc condition, I am considering doing a swap also.
