I just got my '89 Vanagon running with the ALH from an '01 Jetta automatic. It runs great, but isn't producing full power due to boost being limited to maybe 3 psi. The 11mm mTDI pump is from a Land Rover and the K14 turbo is from a 3.0L OM606. I fully realize that turbo is too big and it was a gamble to run with it, but this was a budget build and it's all I had on hand. My question to the crew here is to figure out if there are any ways to make sufficient boost with that turbo in place, short of radical alterations and buckets of cash. I was thinking of stepping up the nozzle size several stages, and if things get dire, I do have a 12mm pump head from a 4BT.
Thoughts?
Be kind, I'm really fragile.
