Greaseworks gets 20K for their conversion.  Drive in, drive out.  Note here:
(base price ??)

Thanks for your inquiry. At present the base price for a fully electronic
TDI conversion on a Syncro Vanagon with PS and AC is $20,500.  This includes
a fully rebuilt TDI engine (1Z/AHU), rebuilt/re-geared transmission (1.14
3rd, .77 4th), cruise control, tachometer, Scan Gauge II, and OBDII
diagnostics, etc.
This conversion typically takes 4-8 weeks, depending on parts availability.
We are currently booked for the next few months but could get started by the
end of April.   To get on our schedule we require a 50% deposit up front so
we can assemble and acquire the majority of the components before the Van
arrives.
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks,
Justin
