Howdy everyone! Glad I was directed here!
I joined after learning about being able to do a TDI conversion on my 1999 Ford Ranger 4x4.
Was directed to the TDI conversion kits out of Canada for the Ranger, and they have a page for optional Malone Tuning packages.
Wanting to keep things as close to "original" as possible, the numbers for a stock or Stage 1 package for the 2.0L TDI look to be very close to what I would like in torque. The Stage 1 package on the 1.9L is still quite a bit lower than stock on the 2.0L.
The few people I've spoken with about doing a TDI conversion on my Ranger say "Go with a 1.9L, they are bullet proof and easy. The 2.0s are a nightmare/complicated/too electric and such."
My question is this: are the 2.0 TDI engines really a big box of voodoo like some are saying? Inversely, are the 1.9 TDIs really that much easier to use for a conversion?
Thanks for any input you have!
