Excellent! That's what I wanted to hear. I definitely won't be using a
200/300TDI because of the prohibitive cost of importing one of these motors,
but I'm looking at a few others that have turbos/can be turboed. I was
contemplating sticking with a NA diesel because of the turbo being damaged
in water, but now it's turbo diesel all the way.
