I'm going to Germany in April and I get stuff freighted over on an almost monthly basis? Why not use a Jetta Turbo Diesel injector pump along with the Jetta TD motor? Same specs as the JX only a different exhaust manifold (same as the TD Quantum). As far as the oil pan is concerned and oil drain line, it is cheaper to get this done locally - I had to make a custom return line for my K24 equipped 1.9TD and it cost me $70 CAD for the line at the local hydraulic shop. I don't mind helping you with getting / shipping the JX parts, just that I think it would be simpler / cheaper to use parts available in North America first.

In order to do my TD Westfalia project right, I need to get a few parts from Germany, where the JX engine (1.6 TD for the Vanagon) was sold. Specifically, I need the Diesel fuel pump, the injector lines and the oil pan with the fitting for the oil drain line from the turbo. I've been trying to find someone over there who has a good chance of getting these parts and will ship to the US. Any suggestions?
