I have one in a Jetta. They only sold 750 of them in the US. You might not
want one in a vanagon without some modifications. They were not made for
power but for burning clean. If you take the fat over to the vanagon in the
conversion, then you would have a clean(er) burning Vanagon, but nothing
like a TDI I'd think. But if you take off the Eco-Diesel pump and install a
standard VE turbo pump with aneroid, then you would get the full power
expected in a TD. The ecodiesel with hydraulic head is a very nice engine,
by the way.
