I don't see why you would ruin a nice GLI by turning it into a diesel.
 Ha ha.
 Remember all the haters on the vortex that slammed you for it?
 I wonder what they would say if they saw it now.

haha yeah the purist on Vortex were actually pretty mad at me....now my stinky little diesel would probably blow the doors off most 16v gasser's... ;D

ITS ALIVE!! ;D


I got it started but two of my rebuilt injectors are leaking between the two body half's... >:(
I guess I will take them back off and snug up the body some more??

now soon as my silicone elbow shows up I can drive it!!! ;D 8) (long as my injectors stop leaking)

I'm a little embarrassed to say I forget the turbo specs right now...I know its a 50 trim .48 AR...but I cant seem to locate my build sheet since moving a month ago..my files are kinda scattered...

53 willys I am soo impressed with your build!! I was told about your head gasket since I wanted to go above the 20 lb mark w/o blowing my head gasket... I still need to measure the piston protrusion above the deck so I know what thickness of a gasket I need. I had a 3 notch before I rebuilt the short block.
Any way... I have been pickin' away at your thread with the 5 minutes here and there... Man I am excited to see it finally working!! This has been like one of those good books that you get to read, and once you get to a certain point you don't want to put it down... I am runnin' late for work so I could finally finish the thread. Would've been sooner, but I just didn't have the time to read!!

Just to join the rest... uuhhh where's the video?

Zukgod... I wanted to talk to you on the phone... can you IM me your cell? I wanted to ask you a couple of things about my project... (sorry to ask that on your thread 53...) It's about my pump... and Giles...
