I forget how much power the eco-diesel makes, but enough diesel
vanagon owners have installed the engine that it must be worth the
trouble. It isn't as much as the standard TD with the aneroid. The
pump with the aneroid, and especially the one designed specifically
for use in the euro-version vanagon TD factory offerings (where you
don't even have to cut the rear hatch to miss the extra mass), would
make much better use of the setup as you say.
