Dear George, You should seriously consider installing a 1.9 TD -- some have already done this and they love it -- plenty of power! Requires a custom left engine mount to clear the turbocharger and lots of little changes to air intakes, plubing, etc.. Cheers, MJS

Would appreciate some advice from those who have been there, I like diesels just need more power and top speed, have you heard this before? Any advice and people you recomend to deal with? Love my van and plan to keep it forever. thanks george |
