Is this true? (1.9 turbo diesel swap)
"This is an ideal alternative to rebuilding that tired old engine that your Audi 4000, Rabbit, Jetta, Golf, Rabbit Pickup, Quantum, or Vanagon originally came with, and will bolt right onto your existing drive-train"<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2458291446&cat egory=33615">Link (not from Legend of Zelda)</a></li></ul>

Re: Is this true? (1.9 turbo diesel swap)
The other real issue is that unless your swapping into another smoker the gear ratios will not be great for the TDI. They make max torque at or below 2000 rpm and and max hp around 3500-4000. This is lower, a lot lower, than your average gasser.
That said, I am a huge fan of those engines. They pull like a semi and get 50mpg in a golf/jetta.

Engine, tranny, wiring, - a lot of work : Instead why not pick up a diesel Audi?
There have been a number on Ebay and on the other sales boards. A lot less work and a very collectable car -okay and terrific fuel economy too.
It would be cheaper from a budget perspective as well as frustration in performing an engine transplant.
The 1.9 engine is a sweet upgrade from the 1.6. more HP and torgue in the same size package.
