If any one needs a quantum TD exhaust manifold, I've got one collecting dust on a shelf, and don't even want much for it. Scott www.turbovans.com for our diesel vangon buddy here though ...........I wouldn't recommend going the quantum set-up route .........sure it clears the left engine mount, but you have to re-index your 'jetta configuration' turbo housings, and there are other disadvantages. I've modified the left engine mounting area to fit a large 80's era turbo diesel set up into an 82 diesel vanagon many times. It's not that hard, as long as a person doesn't mind thinking and fabricating some. Really ........not that big a deal, though it is more than nut & bolt work, which is where many shops stop ........having to be creative and artistic and actually fabricate some at least semi-elegant solution .......It's .just kinda hard for many shops to get into that mode, but it's not very hard as all, as far as fabrication goes.
