Yeah, acme is by far the best. I think I may go this route eventually.

VW 1.9 turbo Diesel out of a newer Beetle, Jetta, Golf.

150 hp.  The adapters allow you to use the stock Sami transmission.

Just my .02

Using the new PD 150 HP model would be a whole bunch of work!
1991 4 door kick, 2" coil spacers, 30" Coopers, winch, locker, rust, dents, etc.
