for anyone who is interested, i have a couple of magazine articles about this and for the price of an email message (be sure to include your address and zip code, boys and girls!), i'll mail you a copy of them.

as to the turbocharger, there was a fellow who wrote a couple of articles in the VWCOA Autoist about doing just that ... he loved it, but it was a bit of a headache for his mechanic, as the manufacturer of the kit hadn't really intended it to be used on vw buses. he finally got it all sorted out, though. what about the possibility of taking a turbo diesel engine from a jetta?? might it not fit?
