[Vwdiesel] KG diesel conversion & possible alternative

[William J Toensing]

If it is improved MPG you want, it would seem the 3 cylinder Polo turbodiesel would be the way to go, if you can make it work. If it is more preformance you are looking for, the easiest way would be to find a Judson supercharger that was designed for aircooled VWs back in the '50s & '60s. Back in 1969 I remember at a Citroen meet a member had installed a Judson supercharger on his Citroen 2CV. While showing the car off he snaped the axel halfshaft. I also think Porsche 356 4 cylinder engines will fit into early VWs including the KG.
