Hi
I have a T4 2.4L non turbo diesel. I love it but being long wheel base it is quite heavy (extra so as it is packed with tools). Steep hills see me drop down to 2nd gear/35klm hr and from a standing start it really is a snail to get going. Don't mind the slow pace so much as I am becoming more and more hippy as I get older (now 35 and half way there) but when my wife zooms off in her 30 odd year old rusty Kombi, leaving me slowly climbing through the gears I say to myself "at least I have power steering" but I probably need little more power as (being a hippy) I am usually running late.

Anyway I am interested in converting her (2.4L diesel) to a turbo diesel. I have kind of picked up that it can be done but would be grateful to get some advice as to what is involved. I can get a K14 TDI turbo unit...would it suit? Also what other mods have to be done as well to accomodate the turbo unit in my bus? One more question... What sort of difference would it make in terms of getting her to speed up...(I have witnessed TDI vans leaving me in their dust) and also how much would be involved in getting it installed/where might it be done on Central Coast, NSW if anyone knows.
Thanks
Tim
