How's he like the ALH? He have it turned up a fair bit? I notice the conversion companies favour PD models with a little more power.

alh's are much easier to get power out of compared to pd's....from what i know he liked it and was supposedly after he got it legal and driving was going to do bigger turbo and such and supposedly with the alh in a bone stock xj it weighed less than an xj with the 4.0 and a tiny bit less than a mk4 jetta...i have an alh car and love it mostly stock but with a little tuning bigger nozzles and turbo the alh is awesome...

also pd's have a bit more power stock hence the favoring

I need to fix my ALH before I can do any of that fun stuff lol. It does look fairly simple to pile on the mods though.

No way his ALH XJ weighs less than a Jetta. A Jetta TDI is around 400 lbs less than a 4.0L XJ and the engine weight difference is like 50-100.
