Ha! Sweet, we have half a dune buggy frame hanging off the front of our building... Air cooled VWs have always been my primary passion and hobby, but diesels are second place for sure... The whole reason I got the volvo in the first place was because it was a VW diesel engine, and I have had a few diesel jettas and whatnot and knew the fun you could have with them after a little pump work and some extra boost!

My bug was just featured in the Dec issue of Hot VWs.. Thats the REAL money pit there, but man the fun I have with it. Unlike the volvo, its actually fast! lol The volvo is just blasts smoke and makes noise, but its fun for a daily beater.

Pictures and progress bump. Not as pretty as Jason's.

I have a 245/d24t swap car and I'm loving it. Regarding turbo/frame rail clearance, I just shimmed the pass. side mount up about a half inch or less and it doesn't hit that rail. Works great. Is yours on the road yet?

Not yet. Should make some progress this weekend. My stock turbo clears the frame rail even with the old mount.

Looks nice!

I like your #6 glow plug wiring setup. Certainly would make taking the IP bracket or cylinder head on and off easier. Not that you would want to be planning to do either of those jobs... but if it were to come down to it, not having to struggle with the GP nut and bus bar dance back there would save some time and annoyance for sure.

Abe, is your TD 245 on the road now?

Wow, with all these 240 D24T swaps I think there will end up being more D24T powered 240's then there are D24T powered 740/760 cars! Looks good.

240s are tanks. There simple, well designed, and easy to maintain. They are just ugly. Thanks.

All done except for the intercooler and bumping up the boost. Huge improvement over the old D24. I just nochted the frame for the turbo clearance.
