Subject:Progress report on my "R-TDI" Syncro conversion.

Volks,

I thought would update everyone on my "R-TDI" conversion that I am doing to
my 1986 Syncro Westfalia.

-          VNT-20 turbo manifold is done.

-          Intake system / intercooler is done.

-          Pistons are off  to the machine shop getting the compression
lowered to 17.5:1

-          The van is at the body shop getting all traces of rust removed a
few body modifications and a fresh coat of paint.

This weekend will involve getting the wire harness prepped and the
immobilizer removed from the ECU.

A picture journal of the conversion can be found at:

If anyone has any questions about the process, please let me know!

Cheers!
