Ah ha, do I spy Audi TT shift lever? at least that is what mine looks like.

I think the best combo is a MK4 ALH, with a 1997 Passat wiring harness with a MK4 MAF and upgraded MK4 MAP sensor with an upgraded turbo. Thats what I would build if I were to do another TDI corrado that had an injector pump.As far as swaps go, G60ing did the swap with a ALH MK4 engine and he recommends against it. Sound advice.
I don't see the advantage of just the ALH block and head. Is there something I am missing? The real improvements on those motors were the work they did on vibration reduction with the pendulum engine mounts and dual mass flywheel. You wouldn't be using either one though. I also like the external waterpump more even if the timing belt interval is shorter at 60,000 miles. I think common rail will be really nice one day.I think the best combo is a MK4 ALH, with a 1997 Passat wiring harness with a MK4 MAF and upgraded MK4 MAP sensor with an upgraded turbo.

Do go on Frank Still a rare swap and hoping to do one myself someday (fantasy pipe dreams of when I have infinite time). S&P has some stuff in the works, got a guy in rural Texas running one in his ranch Jeep, but haven't heard of many CR swaps yet.My buddy swapped a commonrail into his mk1 and loves it.
That looks more like a 2004 to 2006 Pump Duse than a 2009+ Common Rail - still a nice motor though!My buddy swapped a commonrail into his mk1 and loves it.
you are probably right, I stopped paying attention to TDIs after 2003.That looks more like a 2004 to 2006 Pump Duse than a 2009+ Common Rail - still a nice motor though!
My replacement spare from an MK3 separated the tread this year. I either need to buy a new tire, find a Smart spare, go full size G60 Sebring rim, or go spareless. I like spareless around town but need to deal with the hole in the trunk.Oh and for a spare tire I've been running a tire from a smart car. 25 year old spares are dangerous.
