Thanks for the info but I do understand that it is almost a completely
different motor. I was interested in the preformance improvement in going
from a non-turbo to a turbo motor in the vanagon.

 You may want to study the differences between the TD and the Diesel motor
 before you simply stick a turbo on yours. Among the differences:

 Different Head
 Different Head Gasket
 Different Head bolts
 Different Air filter
 Different Injectors
 Different Fuel pump
 Different Oil pump
 Different Oil pan
 Different Pistons
 Different glow plug system
 Different Piston Rings
 Oil squirters on the Connecting rods
 Oil cooler
 And prolly a half dozen others that aren't on the top of my head.

 The point? You can make a turbo work on a standard diesel, but not very
 well, and not for long. All of the above mentioned engineering differences
 were made by professional engineers to give you the most in reliability and
 performance. Our TD (Jetta) runs like new, despite having 170k on it. Keep
 your sights on a TD if that's what you want. Don't try to build one from a
 standard.

 Good luck,
