thanks to the nice lady at the danish motor registration office not knowing the difference between HP and KW i can now put (legally) a 109,5 hp engine in the van :D :D :D

So why not put in an AFN tdi, that's 110 hp? Let's face it -although a good engine for my Golf- a JX is eventually not going to cut it in a heavy syncro.

Love the banana cutter btw, is that a Danish invention?

Hi rob,

Just taken JX turbo off my van. It'll need studs removing and has been on my van sometime. But boosts well and passes little oil to mention.

You can have it for peanuts, but be difficult to get it to you til February now...

Definately interested. February is no problem, I'm not in a hurry since it's a spare engine. How's your van running with the new engine? Heard from Jed you were picking it up today

Hi Rob, ok no problem. I'll make sure the turbo is set aside for you.

My van is totally transformed, was well worth it! VNT is awesome! :)
