cool, if it was rear drive id probably own a tdi, 6 speed rear drive golf ball tdi would be bitchen. vw motorsport got 270 hp outta that lil motor in race trim, that's a long way from 90 (or 110 for the one with the red I, variable vane turbo)

I too want to do that... hopefully I can get a cummin truck soon.

How about the 525tds with greasecar kit?

Winfred, actually the 90's have variable-IGV turbos as well (the Garrett VNT-15). The 110 and 150 hp high-pressure (PD - pumpe deuse) a.k.a. red-I and green-D/red-I are nice motors as well. Mind you, a 90 with an 11mm pump, upsized injectors and a chip will easily put out 125-130 horsies and more than 200 lb-ft of torque! Pretty good for a 1.9L -- only thing would be a new clutch as the stock one on the ALH 1.9 is at the edge of it's capability.

I don't know about that conversion, but I think propane and electric conversions are still tax deductable within reason.

alternate fuel tax credit scam took place...

We don't even get credits for hybrid vehicles.

Winfred, depending which one you're talking about, I have seen 1.9L TDI's (with honking big intercoolers) putting out 230+hp and 300+ ft-lbs !!! Woo-hoo!
