I am thinking out loud (forgive me purists)... has any one installed a TDI?? plenty of room to supe, or keep it stock for good mileage...but will a 901 handle the torque, and then there is fitment....

I'm thinking one of Ian's Suby cradles, a set of his super slick sway-a-suby half-shafts, a special 5 or 6 speed diesel tranny with his gear and end plate adaptor, a set of the DOJ adapters for the tranny and one of his "in secret development - cable shifters"...

Make 185 - 200 hp at the top end on a EE20 in turbo form. With torque and power for hills and the highlands as well as A/C for us wimps in the hot south.

And if you want to go "green" to make your soul feel better, then change a few oil lines to support Bio-Diesel and run a mapping session as a baseline and save it. Only thing missing is a Panasonic or Sony stereo with iPad/Droid and mp3 support, for listening to Sinatra while you drive up to Eric's hideout in Utah for those new brakes that will seal the deal for more stopping power for the little Godzilla behind the seats (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

BTW - is the Suby manual tranny harder to fefresh than a Mitsubishi 5 spwed??
