[Vwdiesel] turboizing 1.6NA

[Bryan Foust]

You would be looking at replacing both the intake and exhaust manifolds.
You would also have to plumb in the lines for the turbo bearings.  YOu would
also have to replace the injection pump with a turbo unit.  I've heard of
this being done.  One problem is bearing coking as the turbo lies almost at
the same level as the oil pan in a vanagon.  With as hard as a N/A engine
works just plain moving a vanagon, I'd want to think that hanging a turbo on
a N/A block would be a very undesirable combination.  Better to put a real
TD engine in it.

   How difficult would it be to add a turbo on my '82 Westy's 1.6 engine?
Can I
just use the parts from a 1.9TD? Is there a website somewhere for this
conversion?
