Sorry for not making a post on Monday, it's been really busy.
This is what makes the magic happen. A TDConversions adapter plate. It allows us to use Jeep Driveline parts such as their flywheel and clutch assemblies. We picked up the heaviest Centerforce flywheel we could find, and will be using it with a new standard clutch kit. We are waiting on the last adapter to put the starter on.
We didn't source a standalone harness, we will be using the Jeep harness to still control all body functions and gauges. What isn't used will be terminated and sealed. The VW harness is purely for the engine and will only be used for that purpose. We are deleting the anti-shutter valve, MAF and because this is an off-road vehicle we are EGR deleting as well. One nice upgrade included with this swap is a 120A Alternator for all those light accessories and winch.
The goal is to make this as simple and reliable as possible, while upgrading what we can. Stay tuned folks.
