Nice. Several of the guys from the FPLRG are dropping 200 TDi's into their Series trucks (sans the turbos) and one is slowing fitting an om617 to a Series 1.

Almost makes me think I need a pre-OBDII D1...

the 200tdi is a nice engine. less to go wrong then the 300. the guy in the video is a guy we go wheeling with in New Jersey. last time we did a night run into the pines he sunk his D1 in a lake and it took hours to get him and a few others unstuck and running again.
