Robert, it is the turbo version of the 1.9 industrial diesel that is rated at 75 hp. The 1.9 NA industrial is rated at 58 hp. Still about a 20% increase from the stock 1.6 D that Vanagons came with. Likely even larger torque increase. http://www.maesco.com/products/vw_engines/vw_spec/vw_spec.html Mark Robert Keezer wrote: > > Frank, > I have some info for you on this .
