Eren- You would be FAR better off buying a TD motor, than trying to cobble one together. The stock VW TD differs from the stock Diesel in many ways. For example: lower initial compression, different pistons, different head gasket, different injectors, piston-cooling oil squirters, etc... In theory, at least, you *can* just bolt a bunch of turbo stuff onto the 1.6 block, but the result wouldn't be anywhere near as reliable or long-lasting as the real deal. G.

From outside 1.6D and 1.6TD looks similar but some people told me the lubrication holes in the engine blocks are different. so is it possible to install the turbo on with just having manifolds turbo and diesel injection pump ? did anyone do this or heard ? 86 diesel westy.
