Hi all!
Here are some pics of my cabrio. I just replaced it's 1.3 engine with 1.6 TD from my old golf 2. The replacement took me about 2 weeks with my friend.
The hanging of the diesel engine was different from the old one, the 5-speed gear box's leverage is quite different from the 4-speed one, etc... Now is almost done:
you have a filter on the air intake? or is the compressor wheel sucking in free air? :?:
But it looks good!!
what size of intercooler tubing did you use?
looks like a hose runs to the rain tray
eco diesel..... you should throw a turbo pump on there.
i always guessed a cabby and a diesel wouldn't mate well cause of all the stink haha

Yes, the K&N filter is behind the rain tray.
I think the only disadvantage of the N/A pump, is in full trottle below 2500rpm, when it smokes too much. I just dont push it too much, below 2500, so it doesn't smoke.
I'm not sure about the exact size of the intercooler, but it's big enough :wink:
It's the G60's intercooler, but mounted infront of the radiator, where it is cooling better than this mount:
Trev0rbr, if there is a stink, it's a way behind me :lol: :lol: :lol:
You should probably seal that gap @ the top of the radiator a bit so the air will actually go through the radiator when the fan isn't running.
i meant intercooler piping size, 2 inches?
