I would like to do a diesel conversion in my syncro. Torque and economy!
Where do you by a new 1.9 one andwhats the downside. I have been looking at
the TDI, but sort of pricey and possibly complex. Chime in Y'all.

Well....there's also the 1.9 TD engine, which (with minor modification) can
produce as much HP and torque as the TDi. Only one wire needed to run! These
are available new for $3150.
