Maybe, but first of all I'm from Holland so I'm talking about LHD cars. So there is always the conflict with the turbo and the LHD steeringcolom wich is a really complicated job. Second, it is a well known fact that torque and horsepower of a 200TDI are a bit high for the Series drivetrain. So, if you want to keep the original drivetrain and just put in a better engine, this would be a great idea.
My biggest question is, if there will be any problems with the compression ratio if the turbo is removed, as this is normally a bit lower on a turbo engine. So that's why I put the question here, if there are people who know this conversion and have some experience with it.
Kind regards
