OT - my diesel conversion in my Vanagon runs!

Just finished converting my gas westfalia camper to a 1.6td engine. Fired it up today and took off down the road. The wastegate is stuck open - producing copius amounts of soot on acceleration until we disabled it and brough the turbo boost up. Other than that it rusns great and will get its first tank of blend when I run out the diesel.

IN other news, I bought an 82 240d for the engine for $100 to put in my broken timing chain 80 240. Anybody need a manual 4sp conversion set-up?
