the late tdi engines run with an ecu and electronic fly by wire throttle, hydrolic clutch and a cable change box. i did look into it and for what i wanted the extra hastle seemed unessery. i plan to heavily tune mine when the times right for 150-200 bhp which should be easy to achive without putting out to much smoke!
a tdi is possible if you have enough knowledge of how they work. or plan to build a m-tdi pump a good place to read up on it all is www.vwdiesel.net theres a tdi and idi section for you to explore

I'm doing for more reliablity than anything, and it's my daily, hence the diesel engine, I've debated buying another car with the money I'd spend, but I just can't see myself in anything else.

I'd say buying a damaged car as a donor would be the best way. Tdi Ibiza / Cordoba / Leon or Caddy van probably the cheapest option.

Having had the engine out of my Tdi Caddy van, I'd say it wouldn't be mega-hard to transplant it into another car (in terms of the wireing at least). The PD engines have more electronics - the non-PD (ie, 90 / 110 bhp models) are a lot simpler and very tuneable. Mine has cable change gearbox and hydraulic clutch (same as a Mk3 Golf) so no fly by wire or anything like that. In terms of 'tunability', with turbo from a PD150, bigger injector nozzles, and a remap I was estimated approx 200bhp. I won't be going that wild though !

That was the orginal plan, I don't have the knowledge to do it myself, so I'd be paying a specialist, so I was gonna go dash conversion too.
But there's a company called megasqwirt that do the wiring looms, and I believe the ecu map, to make sure you don't need to key to start the car ect.

when the time comes in a couple of years and i can afford the insurance on the mk1 with a new engine im seriously thinking of a 150pd power, as so long as you have a front loom it shoudlnt be "too" bad… it needs more leccys than a rotory but should be do able. then with a plug in chip i should have a good 180plus bhp and shed load of torque plus a 6 speeder for crusing when needed.
Daily - 05 plate B6 A4 Avant S Line, with 19s for the summer.. wifes car - Rare Seat Exeo ST Sport 170 Tech
Weekend - MK2 20vt monster - Plus a mk1 caddy I am fixing for my bro

if it was an alfa you'd need sweep as well for the parts.

(caused by bigger injector nozzles methinks)
