[Vwdiesel] Sipster (Top Gear) old vdub - new TDI engine

[raymond greeley]

Hi James, I am putting together a diesel cabrio swap as we speak. the first one just as a exploratory effort.

I think it will go well and anticipate trying a tdi swap into a pre 98 cabrio. any thoughts on where i can find 

electrical/computer configs for such a swap.
