 What exactly do need to be changed for durability ?
 -Oil-squirters ?

Nope not on USA spec Volkswagen Eurovan's
The Candaian diesels came with them

 What is the diff. btw. 2.5 and 2.6l ?

The bore, the 2.5 uses an 81mm bore (stock VW) and the 2.6 uses a larger bore 
which is a custom setup


 My interest in this is that i will have to do *something* to my block in the 
near future. a swap to 2.5l would be nice, so i'd appreciate anyone who can 
give me an idea of the size of this project, in comparison to doing a 
complete overhaul on the I5 turbo-block. >>
