Wow even better seeing how much of a mess it is and what ur doing to it am loving seeing every update

I also love the caddy let alone seeing someone slap a tdi engine into one :)

One question have you opened up the front where ur front mount intercooler sits due to I noticed on your pics u just posted there ain't much air I take to it if u have left it standerd.

And also what plans have u got for the engine once up and running sorry to ask so much I just love what ur doing I wish I had the time and the money and the space to do so something like this keep on posting lol

This will be a quick caddy.. But it wont be anywhere near the R32T engine, but I know your not expecting that.. And if you want to keep it economical, and cheap on fuel, why fit massive turbos and uprate injectors and things?
Dont get me wrong, I love what you're doing, and I really dont want you to take offence to this.. Im a massive fan of the R32t build, purely because it was, what it was.. Unbelievably quick, that would mince pretty much anything in its way, but now you've uprated a diesel engine...
 
having bigger injectors and turbo doesnt mean it will be less economical although obviously it will be when being pushed.
for example remap a car and you can get better mpg if you dont use the throttle like an on off switch as it requires less effort to get upto the required speed obviously you can get to a point where it does become less economical though.
