I will eventually turbo it. More concerned about my Jetta TDI swap first.

Be sure to install an EGT gauge so you don't melt the pistons when you go out on the highway.

Yea...my daily driver is the
89 VW Jetta 1.6 NA Diesel that I am putting into this truck for now. I dont think my jetta has an egt guage now..I never had issues on the highway, been driving it for a year now..mostly highway. But on both VW's I will be installing more monitoring and guages.
