I'd install an exhaust gas temperature pyrometer and the best new pre-cups you can get in a "SB" 1.6 syncro vanagon - -  no matter what; as that engine is going to be under a LOT of thermal stress. 

For pre-cup discussion see: http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php/topic,33184.0.html

Thanks,At the mo' the van has a "JX"engine with a front mounted oil cooler,ETG pre-turbo [ seen 800deg c !],oil pressure n temp and a boost gauge [ .6bar].
The plan is to fit the "SB" engine with its water cooled turbo and intercooler..
