D5252T (Diesel 5 cylinder, 2.5 capacity, 2 valves per cylinder)

Simon Billhult built a beautiful 744/964 with a D5252T mounted to an M90 gearbox. I think he sold the car, but here is the thread from the current owner.

As regards the EGR. These engines run fine without the EGR, but I assume you mean the ECU.

I'm not sure if it's even possible to convert this turboed engine version to non electronic injection, but one suggestion might be to use an engine and ECU out of a straight diesel VW Transporter T4. Basically the same engine.

Why would you want to do this though? Seems like a lot of effort for an inferior system.
