[Vwdiesel] 84 TD to 91 Jetta swap

[Rudy]

I'll be doing this conversion in a couple weeks if I find the parts I need.
When I do I'll have an A1 Downpipe for a template that you could use.

I'm working on getting a few downpipes made for A2's Like the one that I
made for my 91 Jetta TD. The guy that is making them is swamped now at work,
(We are both in the Air Force, he works in Metal Tech with is the machine
shop/welding shop.) I'm trying to get at least 3 more made but it looks like
it will be a while. He cut the flange on the CNC machine. Nice sweet, clean
job those things make. We would like to make a TD downpipe for an A1 but
finding one that we can cope the bends on is difficult. No A1's around here
that we can use as a template either.

There was a brand new one on ebay last week... no wait, it was for an NA. 
They are only about $45 new from busdepot.com - part #191253091B or
191253091E.

I have one in good shape, but may still need it...
