I`ve never done the conversion, but have driven both. IMHO, i wouldn`t bother as its not that much quicker, personally i would go for a cvh turbo or similar.

The info is there, you just got to find it

yeah that would be nice but i bought it to use as a tow vehicle for my stock car. i am used to the slowness now as the diesel gauge never seems to come down (its not broken either) im getting 90 ish miles to ten pound of diesel. more if i keep me lead foot of the pedal.

so i wont be changing to turbo diesel. just gonna use it for what i got it for over 1 year, then take it off the road and put it in the garage, give it some love and wait for them to be as rare as the mk3's.
