I recently acquired a complete coversion kit of diesel parts from a junkyard. 
 Bellhousing, starter, flywheel, oil pan, filler tube, pick up tube, carrier 
bars, brackets, maounts and all the bolts.  I may fabricate a different 
carrier bar/ mounting system using the stock mounting holes for wtrbxr, as the left 
mount bracket collides with the turbo wastegate.  The diesel mounts are also 
hard to come by and very expensive at the dealership.  As I plan on keeping the 
van indefinitely I may opt for using jetta mounts.  Intercooler will mount on 
the left of engine compartment with a large airscoop cut out of drivers side. 
 Do I need to add an electric fan?  I may try to work on venting all the hot 
air somewhere other than my engine compartment also.  Anyway, thanks for the 
response.  Andrew
