Hi! I've been lurking around here, on and off, for the last couple of years contemplating doing this swap. The other options were running the stock 22R on propane or a 3RZ from a Tacoma. I have finally settled on an AHU TDI.
Unless I score a deal on another pump, I will more than likely end up using a Land Rover 300TDI pump. I'm not looking for huge power, mostly fuel efficiency, simplicity, reliability and torque. This will definitely be mTDI with a wastegated turbo, please don't sidetrack this thread with eTDI or VNT chatter.
After reading through every mTDI and toyota swap I could find, as well as various normal swaps, there are still a few things I have not been able to find answers to.
What size fuel lines should I be running? The stock toyota lines IIRC are 5/16 supply and 1/4 return. What size are the stock VW lines? With the LR pump being 11mm, I imagine they will need to be a little larger that the VW lines.
I plan on running an inline lift pump. What volume should it be able to flow to keep up with the pump at 5000rpm? I don't plan on running 5000rpm, but if the power bug ends up biting me, I would rather not have to deal with fueling issues.
Which stock (not necessarily TDI) exhaust manifold places the turbo highest up and farthest toward the front (timing cover end) of the engine? I can fabricate an adapter for the turbo, if necessary.
There's more, but that's all I can remember at the moment.
