I have seen the TII conversion and it is nothing more than a Diesel type set
up with a gas engine. I drive a 82 Diesel Vanagon with a gas motor. It is the
simplest design. S. A.  Volkswagen used this design and now you can order it.
\The engine management system is without the O2 sensor makes the US 2.0
(Cabrio, Golf, Jetta lll, etc., more practical.
 The things that we really need are the mounting hardware, and other Diesel
specific parts, especially the intake manifold. With the SA intake manifold
clearancing the firewall is eliminated.
 The exhaust manifold and muffler would also be nice. We have plenty of low
mileage 2.0 engines in North America. The engine I got had 78,000 miles and
210 compression all four. The piston tops were shiny clean, and the factory
cross-hatching was still in the cylinder walls.
 A tested low mileage engine from a 93-later donor car (I got mine from a
junkyard for 700.00) and you have a conversion. To work, you replace the 2.0
crossflow head with a 1.8 head. Now this is what SA has done.
My system is Digifant ll. The way I set it up in my Vanagon, to be a factory
like installation, every thing accessible and identifiable, how is this hard
for a VW tech with 25 years of experience to understand Digifant ll, or
Motronic?
He will have a little trouble with SA Motronic perhaps. Unless the VW shop in
Utah is staffed with journeymen from jiffylube, most can figure out the
problem with these two systems (and CIS, CIS-E) within 30 minutes.
 I know two such techs at two different VW dealerships who have infected the
company with conversionitis. They all know what a real pain air-cooled and
WBX have been. Lynn Cluck Auburn VW, Peter Aust Tom Carstens VW, these taught
me and bailed me out many times.
Perhaps in Wyoming these guys don't exist.
By the way, my 95 Golf lll engine performed flawlessly and even at speeds up
to 80 I got 20 mpg. Of course, it helps if there's a tailwind! Kansas was
like flying!
There is a shop in Denver, Vanagon Central, does conversions as easily as
repairing stock Vanagon engines, by the way.
