Is this engine/pump/turbo combination still considered a TDI?
I wouldn't consder it so.

 You are absolutely correct, Gary. It is indeed just a TD. The seller seems 
to genuinely not know much about the conversion. Unfortunately, most people 
only see the letters TDI and not that is only based on that engine. However, 
even for a 1.9TD the engine felt anemic compared to the one I have in my 
Syncro. Granted I have the smaller turbo which should theoretically give 
faster response. The engine on this van lacked even top end power. I meant 
should clarify my statement that it felt like it was in limp mode and not 
that it was.
