Re: 1987 VW Quantum Syncro - convert to 1.6 turbo diesel?

I looked into this it will be a labor and money intensive project if you use a 4 cylinder but if you find a 5 cylinder diesel it will bolt right up.

Re: quality control arm bushing options

Use r32 bushings. Urethane are crap if you car isn't lowered and you springs arent stiff. The outer circle doesn't like to be moved reletive to the center hole that's why they only work good if your control arms are parallel with the road.

Re: TD injector pressure

Id love if I could get my idle down that low. I have my mine set around 950 due to a nasty vibration i cant seem to figure out. This motor is just swapped into this car so it still has kinks that need to be worked out. I'm also going to be installing a proper lda pump later on it this week.

TD injector pressure

I've read different places here and on other forums that na spec injector pressure might be better on a td than the factory higher pressure of td injectors.
