Got the engine and am going to start rip-and-tearing Saturday morning. I'd like to have the diesel in place by Monday morning. Running by next weekend. We'll see....
I would come in the GTI as it gets great MPG & would be fun to take for a rip down the strip at 130+ I really should go - Not every day you get to see a MKII that aero-modded!

And you can have that in an running in a weekend. My TDI was done in 3 days (Fri night-Sunday night) and it's got a ton of wiring + cable shift trans + Hydro clutch... I bet you could do it all Saturday! Here is my 3-day swap.
