    Is there any issue in running one of the cheap ebay water to air intercooler with a zink in the system? I need an intercooler on mine and was planning on feeding the hose from the alpha one pipe up to the ic first, then through the heat exchanger and then back into the exhaust down pipe. I know it may onky last a season in salt water ( ill only use it in salt water for a week or two a year) the rest in fresh water. For less than 150 usd a year i could buy one a season.

    I would assume that raw water cooled ic would be better than engine coolant when it comes to iat and performance.

    These little vw motors are working harder than originally designed.

    I have a pair of 4.2 L TDI 370s They have about 50 hours from new, The fuel systems were removed (contaminated) But other than that they are like new. I was going to use them on a project but have moved onto other things. I'm considering parting them out, but that would be a shame. I would consider selling a single or as a pair.

    $13500 each OBO, I would even consider parting them out for the right offer.

    Too rich for me, but considering the price of these new someone should be happy to take them off your hands at that price. Do they have the ecu's and wiring harness's with them? And what is missing from the fuel systems, high pressure pump and injectors there?

    The engines Have the Common Rail pumps, high pressure fuel lines and off engine transfer pump. The Injectors and leak off lines are missing. The ECUs are engine mounted and included. Off engine harnesses and controls are not included. Please Email if you would like more pictures, I don't want to use up the forums bandwidth. "Happy New Year!"

    Hello MihaS!
    I started the marinising the 3.0 TDI as well. It is possible to get some information, and maybe some spare parts from you?
    In the first round, i am interesting for the ECU programming. Where can i do it?
    Thanks
    Kaloz
