[Vwdiesel] European TDI engine to America

[Bryan Belman]

Karl Mullendorf from Westy Ventures does it all the time.  Put a Cummings pump on it for about $800 and it runs machanical.  The bigger issue is the motor mounts.  The TDI blocks do not have the same bolt patterns and you can not just swap over you motor mounts from A2 body.

There have been reports that the tdi has been converted from it's 
"electronic" state to mechanical. I have not seen any documentation on 
this but like anything else, throw enough money at it and anything can 
be done.
