What about a non TDI VW TD swap.... There is not computer to worry about frying and they can be tuned to put out 200hp out of the 1.9l T.... It is a pretty simple install i heard

www.acmeadpaters.com for that one! Do you have a website that lists how to get 200HP from a 1.9TD?  ???

I heard it word of mouth..... I found a few website that talk about tuning the VW TD.  
There si also a huge thread on Pirates that talks about doing the diesel swap in samis...but the tuning info would be the same.

The rotary swap looks cool, but I like low end torque, which is why I was looking for a V6 or V8 ;)

Now if I can't locate a decent XL7 V6, I might have to start looking for a VW diesel engine for a swap ;D
