I am talking 50 deg. install.  The difference is not in the tube, it is in 
the fact that the diesel vanagon has an all aluminum casting for the tube with 
an integral oil pressure relief valve.  The oil pressure relief valve is 
different for the n/a and the turbodiesel.  The turbodiesel has a bigger 
spring,plunger and hole.  The pump itself is different, I believe, larger gears.  The 
piston coolers squirt according to oil pressure, so I would like it to be as the 
engineers intended.  I happen to have three of the diesel vanagon oil pump 
pickup tubes.  Two are 068 115 153 with the smaller valve.  One is 068 115 153A 
with the larger relief valve.  Before putting it onto my turbodiesel engine I 
would like to confirm that I got incredibly lucky and received the S. African 
or European turbodiesel pickup tube (with integral relief valve).  Please, 
anyone with ETKA, is it possible to find out?
