It's actually a crank out of an older turbodiesel. The new TDI's may use the new crank, but people have been doing this swap for a while. If you want to get the motor to rev you'll need to lighten and balance as much as you can. Even then the angles get pretty extreme, causing stuff to wear prematurely if you want to rev the motor. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
