Can I put a TDI drive train into a Eurovan?

Does anybody know if it's easy to put a tdi drive train into a eurovan?
I heard vw was offering this in Mexico, but not in the US.

I dunno about the TDI, but there is a diesal eurovan engine, not sure if its a turbo.
They have them in canada.
If you find out let me know because I'd be a canidate for a diesel swap into my 97 eurovan camper!

I would think that it would be a pretty basic swap if you had an entire car to rob stuff off of. A veggie oil EV would be a pretty cool conversion, there is a guy that lives by me that has a Passat that he converted over to Veggie oil power, and he told me he spent lees than $400 in fuel last year and he commutes daily to North Chicago from Lake Geneva.  I think you'll see alot more of that in the coming years.

5cyl?
would that drop into a eurovan with a vr6?

Yeah, I've been thinking of the veggie oil thing alot. You see I service fast food places like Steak N Shake, Hardees, Arbys. I could get their old grease when I show up to do a service call and take it home to filter it for the next trip. The savings for me would be great considering i drive average a 1000 miles business a week. It would require alot of work though.
