So, is there a consensus on what the best TDI motor is for the Vanagon?

Todd
'88 Westy

Too bad there is not a TDI boxer engine..

Yes, Thomas has them, as well as other VW diesel engines. You can see
each one run in a video he takes of them. His website has links to view
each that he has. The Argentinians that were here a few weeks ago had a
blown 1.6TD motor in their 89 European Westy and a local shop replaced
it with a 1.9NA 1Y motor from Quality German. Ran great, matched up well
with their stock 5 speed tranny.
