After many months, I finally ordered a 1.9NA to replace the 1.6NA diesel
in my vanagon. I ordered the "kit" from overland via importvision. It took a
bit longer than I thought to be shipped, but one week doesn't matter much.
I would recommend importvision, but they only take Paypal and checks for
payment, so that may turn some folks off. I personally have no problem
with Paypal (for now).

So, any folks out there with any new bits 'o wisdom on intalling this?
Really, the question is: Any New bits o' wisdom, since I have done 1.6NA
engines in the past.

Also, I am going to do a no-no, and keep the old transmission (which give
more pick-up, but top speed is the same). I do a bit of mountain driving,
so I think keeping the old tranny would do me better. Blazing at 75 MPH on
the freeway is not important.
