Is this engine/pump/turbo combination still considered a TDI?
I wouldn't consder it so.

 You are absolutely correct, Gary. It is indeed just a TD. The seller seems
to genuinely not know much about the conversion. Unfortunately, most people
only see the letters TDI and not that is only based on that engine. However,
even for a 1.9TD the engine felt anemic compared to the one I have in my
Syncro. Granted I have the smaller turbo which should theoretically give
faster response. The engine on this van lacked even top end power. I meant
should clarify my statement that it felt like it was in limp mode and not
that it was.
