I recently successfully swapped a 1.5TD into my Combo B van. I love the engine. It's fast on boost, it doesn't leak, it's reliable. I did the white ring mod before fitting the engine, and a full service (filters, plugs, fluids).
For the first few months after the swap, I had the fuel pump turned up over half a turn, which was boosting over 15psi (gauge only reads to 15psi!!). But MPG was disappointing at about 35MPG.
I was a bit worried about long term reliability with that much high...
