Subject:      FW: 90 Carat Auto TDI Conversion: MPG ect.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Volks,
I am considering using a Fast Forward kit and salvage later model TDI engine
to drop in my 90 Carat w/automatic.
Fast Forward shows on there site a similar conversion; late model Vanagon
automatic with 1.9TDI dropped in and the owner has reported 30-32MPG.
Anyone on the list done this: wasserboxer 2.1L w/auto to 1.9TDI?
If so what are your mpg figures city/hwy?
If this conversion gets anything above 25MPG overall w/current gas/diesel
prices the conversion pays itself off very rapidly against what I’m seeing
mpg-wise with the wasserboxer.
