Exterior / Re: Backup camera install.

I put mine in the bumper, just for ease of install.  Not the best location if you tow but its ok when the ball is removed.  I'm thinking of moving it up and integrating it itno the rear door somewhere.

Diesel Swap Tech and FAQ / Re: 15k miles on AHU swap into '93 Weekender

 Hi guys:
I'm also a proud owner of a TDI EV.  I haven't blogged about it but I sure appreciate all of the work everyone has put out there on the net for me to glean info from.
My conversion started as a 1995 Winnebago EVC that I picked up last summer (2016) in Ventura , Ca.  it was a MT with a blown engine, and the price was right. 
I then sourced a ahu from a 98 jetta from Santa Fe, New Mexico and ewb tranny from Frans.  other bits and pieces from all over.  I used a Vnt 15 turbo and Dsla 1019 injectors with a modified AFN ecu tune.  The conversion took me about 6 months to "complete" and we are pretty happy with the product.
It wouldn't have been possible without the help of a very skilled individual Andrew Clink who as a result of this endeavor is now a good friend. 
Performance wise its still a work in progress.  My mpg's are running around 22-27 combined city highway and EGT's are higher than what you guys are seeing with 700-900 around town and 900-1250 on the highway. I'm guessing the added weight  could be the culprit.  I'm changing the exhaust to a 2.5" with magnaflow diesel cat and no muffler this week so we'll see if the egts are affected.  I currently have the egt probe mounted in line with the #3 exhaust port.  when I upgrade to a vnt 17 ill place it directly inline with the turbine inlet. 
Its great to hear other peoples story lets keep it going.

sorry I just saw this, i need to update my notifications.  Yes I am doing the conversion myself, at this point I have the van stripped down and I am awaiting parts.  Its certainly a challenge but it is fun and will be worth all the effort.

As long as you don't mind gambling on the transmission, you should be fine.

Hi All:
I'm a new member here, I'm also on TDIclub, and Vortex.  I'm a 3 time EV owner and I've decide to take the plunge on a 1995 EVC Tdi conversion and this looks like a good resource for me to tap.
