I don't know about that, but it's certainly my dream build.

This is a very very sweet ride. With my orange peel, drippy painting applies I would be scared to drive it very far. What is added to the AZZ to bring up the hp and torque.

We all had to start somewhere. I started with a truck that "looked" good, but was far from it.
The AAZ has been bored out, balanced, ARP studs and bolts everywhere. The head is ported as are the manifolds. The Turbo is a much larger Garrett T3 and the pump was massaged by Giles at Performance Diesel Injection. It has a 2.5" downpipe and exhaust through a large Magnaflow muffler.

Sweet truck I love the Caddy. I think if a small diesel truck was made today it would sell great.

They (VW) do make one in Europe but apparently we aren't good enough to get them.

Well, I'm getting close to finishing the engine compartment (rewired everything, relays for the new e-code headlights, etc., etc., etc.). The rad pusher fan was the last item.
Now I've just got to figure out what to do to cover the top of the ugly rad.
