Unfortunately nobody makes any. It's a pretty common swap, wish someone would

This might be a good start.
Universal engine mounts
This kit includes both left and right engine mount parts.
Just weld them up at the angle you need.
It has the correct spacing to align with holes in the later 1.9L TDI, ALH, BEW.These are the same parts that we use to build our custom mounts. $95 USD

Toyota is pretty good about interchangibility, my guess it's the same or close.

Do the ahu and alh share the same motor mount holes?

heres a source for new manufacture radiators and intercoolers of volvo turbo series.
If i cant find at local junkyards i might go this route..
if anyone buys from there.. be sure to choose price showing excl. vat. .since they dont charge vat when shipping outside of european union...
http://www.do88.se/en/artiklar/volvo-240-740-940-1975-98-radiator.html
http://www.do88.se/en/artiklar/volvo-200_700_900-turbo-81-98-intercooler.html
these are more efficient than the stock volvo 740 intercooler and radiator...going off their specs...
Significant advantages with do88 performance intercooler (OEM intercooler):
- Core volume: 11906cm3 (5377cm3), do88 is 221% larger!
- Air flow at 0,15bar/2,18psi pressure drop: 405CFM (286CFM), do88 42% higher!
- Fits all cars in list below with very small modifications!
The OEM intercooler rubber supports in both the top and bottom needs to be trimmed slightly
because of the increased thickness.
do88 performance intercooler are an all aluminium construction with cad designed, flow optimized cast end tanks and optimized core design (60mm thick) to achieve best possible cooling efficiency combined with lowest possible pressure drop!
the radiator
Made from 100% aluminum construction with 40mm thick core with only 6mm tube spacing (OEM has 8mm tube spacing and only 32mm thick)!
This radiator has a connection for a thermo switch (M22x1.5). The radiator is delivered with blacking plugg installed in this connection. If you car uses this termo switch you will have to install the OEM thermo switch.
be sure to find these at oreillys or similar

tacoma has different frame mount location than the earlier trucks.... my buddy did a 3rz swap into 94 truck and had to relocate his frame mounts

My understanding is that the mounting points are present on the ALH for the AHU type brackets but not vice versa.
Since I've never actually looked at an ALH out of the car I can't verify that, so basically it's hearsay.
You could try looking at the B5 or B5.5 tdi mounting setups since yours is longitudinal. I would think you'd want some kind of hydraulic mounting in there due to vibration.

That would work well, didn't know there was an all metal version of the intercooler

neither did i .. i did some searching online and came upon this company in Sweden that makes performance parts for Volvo's and they ship worldwide.
now what hoses would one use and what piping between the intake manifold.. and the turbo.. VW or Volvo specific? Im planning to do the KERMA TDI performance intake manifold, which can be flipped around facing forward for FMIC instead of facing back for SMIC. Makes it easier for piping to the Intercooler.

Yes and no is the simplest and most complete answer. Exhaust side is mostly the same, dipstick side has differences.

These mounts will not work on a ahu motor. Not even close. Just got my set from gastodiesel. Tried a quick fit. Nope
I have a set for sale.
Guess I'll have to do the hard part myself

You had best call gastodiesel and ask them specifically what model engine they fit. The website says "late tdi bew"
I guess a ahu is not a late tdi

im lead to believe it will work on anything ALH or newer
AHU came just prior to ALH.. ahu is almost an ALH but with a few minor differences...

You are welcome to return them for a refund.
I only started to offer these parts to help others doing conversions and not wanting to stick anyone with parts that don't work for them.
I'll change the website to better describe the TDI models that they fit.
This is all pretty new to me so I don't have a good grasp of the different models yet.
Both my conversions are using the BEW engine which is what I have to go by for patterns.
I did pick up a dead ALH to see how it differs. This is more of a hobby so changes and progress don't happen quickly.

No worries. Was a fordie might want em.
They are really nice pieces. I would buy them again if I had a motor that they would fit

he has an ahu.. so do they work for alh? as this is the engine im planning to use.. i dont want to mess with BEW PD
I have a set of ahu mounts from acme. They absolutely do not fit my 2001 alh. I wouldn't even say it's helpful to build from them or modify them vs starting from scratch. They are really nice mounts but they definitely will not fit an alh.
Edit: I'm not sure what years ahu are. The mounts I have from acme fit "98 and older model engines".

I have the mounts from you. They look great. I'll let you know how it all goes together on my 01. Looked to be a perfect fit.

So in a nutshell, Mounts from Acme for AHU and older engines and mounts from TD Conversions for ALH, BEW and ??? engines.
We are now working on an adapter kit to move the A/C compressor on the ALH to the passenger side above the turbo.
Also kit to move all the BEW accessories (alt, A/C, P/S) up about 4" for steering clearance.

oh really? knowing that.. i might gravitate towards an AHU motor.. or its euro spec equivalent... but then.. might be tish harder to do some of the other things...
but maybe the fuel econ would be slightly better on AHU
