Hi Mati - The last I looked at Elsbett site, (and tried to sort through it), it appeared that the self-builder kits were only offered for certain prechamber engines, and that they were testing TDi conversions. Are you sure they are selling so-called self-builder kits for TDi? Perhaps they are only doing in-shop full conversions on the direct injection engines? It was difficult to tell from the site, but that was the impression I got. Can anyone verify what Elsbett's offerings are at this time?
