Me too!
I'll be starting my 2002 quad cab dakota Automatic ALH swap this fall. I just bought my third ALH today. First Jetta was too nice to dismantle so my son and I have been driving it to long distance bids. Then I bought just an ALH engine to rebuild. Now I found an ALH Jetta basket case...
I'm wondering how you mounted the front pumpkin. The two bolt on the transmission I get. Were you able to reuse the bridge type mount that straddles the oil pan or did you fab up something different?
Also you went for the Holset turbo. Is there a reason you went that way instead of using a VNT...
Ok, I got the pump today. I'm thinking that a custom spacer. Maybe even mill the spacer then weld it on to an ALH hub. Jimbote you were saying there may not be enough support? Is the bearing smaller in the shorter nose pumps?
Otherwise is there any reason I couldn't take the top half of the...
Thanks, I didn't see the v8 adapter on your website though. I'm going ALH to v8 automatic.

Any recommendations on a cost effective turbo?
this one came from london england via Ebay.
So, I will likely need to take the shaft out of my stock pump? Or would a shim between the pulley and mounting plate work? I'll see when it gets here.
Update
I just bought a 2000 TDI jetta as the donor vehicle. It has a code for injector 3 lift sensor bad has low power and raw fuel smell and burns the eyes coming out the exhaust. I pick it up tomorrow. Let the work begin!
I just bought an Iveco 2.5l mechanical pump. It hasn't been delivered yet. It's a bosch VE R 657 pump. I was wondering if anyone has used this pump on an ALH? If so what mods might I need to do to make it work best?
I believe it has a 12m head. It has a gear instead of a pulley. I want to...
The truck dodge should have built
Hey there jetmoto. Really nice job! I've been talking about a dakota like this for years. I have a couple questions on the MTDI pump. one, how do you build it? And two, what years of VW TDI,s can easily be converted to MTDI?
