I'm severely trumped on how knowledgeable these folks are concerning the v-dub diesel.

But one important question that remains unanswered is does this have a turbo? If not, I would add one ASAP. More power, larger power band, etc.

BTW I'm extremely jealous. I'd love to find a $200 banger diesel in these parts.
