Wow. I love it. I would LOVE to put a TDI in my bus. My golf is going strong at 255k miles. What was the hardest part of the install? How did you do the exhaust?

Well done. Having the removal rear apron makes it easier to install. How does it drive? Are you happy with the performance?

Posted in your Heavy Bus thread, but I do love TDI conversions! (And nice looking trans, BTW.)

How did you set up your intercooler on this baby?
