Hans,

The 50� inline VW conversion which utilizes the diesel parts do not
need any parts from KEP.

I basically did not do any of the work on the van. It just took longer
than usual as they used my van as a shoptime filler. You have to be a
regular customer to get the better rates. Just like any other
business, the deal goes to the regulars.

As for the 15� kit, I bought one from a listee. It was posted on this
list. Got the KEP adapter and flywheel, all the wiring modified for
Vanagon, all the accessories, plus the 2.0 engine and ECU. Total was
$800. Professional installation cost is $600 for me. I don't know what
someone else would get charged. We all make our own deals.

I stand by my original posting that the inline-4 VW (50�) system is
the least expensive route. I believe that was the original question.

Cheers,
BenT
