    JKU 1.9L TDI swap: Is it possible?

    Not entirely sure why as @Dirtydog mentioned you would want to underpower a 4000 lb Jeep ? Doing some research the stock unit has 90 HP & 155 pounds of torque which is squat . This is the same engine VW had a major scandal with years ago . They were reporting false numbers when it came to...
