About
So, my mechanical experience is limited to working on an 1984 gas VW Rabbit when I was 16 in 1996. I bought that car for a $1! Too bad it was totaled by a mini-van running a red-light.
I'm an IT (UNIX/OpenSource) engineer by trade, but I have been working on my 1982 1.6na diesel Westy since 2012. So, I'm geeky, but new to being a mechanic to my van as much as I can. Some stuff though (brakes/suspension) still gives me the willies, so I like to have someone more experienced do it; I had a bad experience with a brake caliper bolt flying off in m 84' Rabbit that scared the shit out of me!
In this regard, I hope to get a decent engine setup after learning it; then take it to get the conversion done.

The Process
This is where I'm going to linking to my youtube videos regarding my steps of building up a new-long block AHU engine using a used complete engine from Quality German Auto in Ontario, CA as a reference. Then the used engine someday will be either a backup/spare or for another project.
Here is the new long-block and used engine:

Preparation
I bought two engine stands identical in the process of mounting the new long-block and the used engine onto for my work.
I first had to remove the clutch from the used engine to allow clearance with my mounting hardware to the stand.

ECU / Wiring Harness
The side of the clutch top center there is a round cluster of wires and other plugs going into a central hub.
It looks like the below. I was able to disconnect everything but the glow-plug bar. I did the whole counter turn try and remove the plug, but no go. I just snipped the glow plug harness cable.
The rest I was able to unplug and the harness and all the wires came free:

EGR Removal
You don't need the EGR! From what I have been told in the TDI Conversion list was the following from Karl M. @ link Westy Ventures: "In many early TDIs, EGR contributes a lot to the clogging of the intake manifold and ports. Many have deleted or blocked EGR on TDIs to avoid the buildup of nasty gooey carbon. There also is no easy way to control it on an mTDI."

Power Steering Pump & Bracket Removal
The power steering isn't needed for the mTDI setup in my 82'. To get the used engine close to what I need to work with, I'm removing it.
That can be done via three bolts. Two at the bracket and one at the swivel.

In the end after you remove the bracket bolts you'll just have the swivel bolt like below
Long Block (BoraParts) build-up
Engine Cover Plate
The new-long block didn't come with an engine cover-plate. This was purchased for the engine and the corresponding mounting hardware.
Reference:
I initially started with the 028109143H cover plate and the two bolts and washers that set it into place (N01021226 & N0122265)
These two 10mm bolts install at a torque pressure of 7ft/lb

Gasket Install
Per Libby: "The metal ring on the exhaust manifold gaskets can face either the head or the manifold and in fact, two *should* face the head and two should face the manifold. There is a horizontal line of symmetry through the exhaust manifold, but if you place a vertical line through the fastener holes, the ports are offset 4-5mm toward the center of the engine. In other words, the two ports on the pulley end of the head are offset toward the flywheel and the two at the flywheel end of the head are offset toward the pulleys. The exhaust gaskets need to be oriented so that the offset is the correct direction. Furthermore, if you look where the gasket surrounds the stud, there is a skinny side and there is a side that has more material. The skinny side should be oriented closer to the intake manifold."
Then a light smear of permatex copper on both sides of the exhaust manifold gaskets
Here is how the gaskets should look orientated before the permatex sealer

Vacuum Pump
I had made a video, but I lost it. This is a very simple process, so I will just explain it here.
If you look at the end of the vacuum pump you'll see it has a slot. Then when you look into the engine hole a receiver for that slot. The goal is to lube it up a little with diesel oil so it's not totally dry. Then go in the angle of the slot. I usually turn clock-wise till it falls seated. One way of knowing if it's seated or not is you won't be able to see the greenish/gray O-ring as shown in the photos below. Then just tighten up the bolt and bracket. In order to get the bolt to even up enough to screw into the hole for the bracket, you may have to wiggle the bracket a little.

This is maybe the easiest part to install. You just screw it in. I put some blue thread locker on it. It doesn't matter which end screws into the oil-filter.

Installation
This is pretty simple just slide it over the (028115721B - union tube) into the oil-filter assembly. The ports will face left of the engine indicated in the photo below. If you look at the top of the cooler and inside the flange you'll see the 'oil' feed line hole. Those basically need to match up.
Then place the oil-cooler over it and attach with the (068115723 - hexagon nut)
End result:
Oil Pan
This section will include details on swapping the 1.6na DV oil-pan for a 50 degree install, as also the 4cyl windage tray for it. At the same time we'll be swapping in an 82' diesel oil-pump to get the desired plunge shaft length.

DV Pan swap to AHU
Its as recommended to get longer oil-pan screws for the windage tray, but the stock 1.6na CS engine DV pan comes with the following 20 bolt sizes:
- M6X16
- M6X22
- M6X25
So, you could get lucky with two of the three possibliities, but you may want to measure the oil-pan bolt first.
However, the AAZ which does come with the windage tray comes with:
- M6X17
Since the above bolt size was supposedly used with the 1Z and AHU still,
These should be tightened to 20Nm
DV Oil Pump Swap

Once you have the oil-pan off the AHU you'll see the oil-pump. However, if you're long-block is like mine it may have a windage tray installed.

AHU Windage Tray Installed
Now you'll see the oil-pump as the silver device with the black tray delay off to the left. This is the oil pump you need to swap.
Here is the AHU (black part on it) oil-pump vs a new DV oil-pump
You'll see two bolts (black heads for me) where my fingers point. These will remove the oil-pump (13mm)
When installing the DV oil-pump the two pump bolts get torqued at 25Nm
NOTE: The AHU oil-pump bolts are LONGER than the DV oil-pump bolts. If you do not have the original DV Oil Pump bolts you need to get two of either of the following P/Ns: N01037510 or N0103753 with the spring-washers N0122265
Installing Oil Pump & Windage Tray
First have some blue thread locker for the bolts. It helps keep everything snug.

Installation Notes:
Make sure your coolant pump came or you purchased the o-rint that goes between it and the long-block.
There are three shoulder bolts that look the same;
1 x 028-260-821
2 x 028-260-821A
The one my thumb is pointing to is 028-260-821 which is shorter than the two 028-260-821A that my index finger points to
The other two which are not clear in the reference points go as the following:
1 x 028-260-821D - hexagon bolt; M8X34 - This is the first one to the right of 028-260-821.
1 x 028-260-821C - stud with shoulder; M8X17X24 - this is to the right of 028-260-821D

There's a round hole on the pulley that you can put a screw driver into to lock it so it doesn't turn while you tighten the bolts.
Proper Tool Warning!!! I found out after doing this from a peer-reviewer the tool you want is the water pump pulley tool. You can find it under one of these reference P/Ns:
96280, SCH96280, UN1203280
In the photo below you can see it going right from the top bolt.
Also, note the deeper part of the pulley goes towards the engine or the VW P/N faces away from the engine.

- Samba - AAZ Coolant Sensor
I thought long and hard how to approach the mTDI coolant flange dilemma.
There's a few various options to accomplish this:
- Use the 1.6na aluminum flange p/n 068-121-133M with an adaptor plate to position the adaptor similar to the AHU orientation. The photos I saw of this looked like it'd cause a possible other leak, looked hooky, and just bad in my eye.
- Use the later AAZ sensor p/n 357-919-501
green ring) on the plastic AHU flange p/n 028-121-132A This solution is bad for two reasons to me. First it's plastic and in my mind more prone to cracks. Second now you've mix-matched the sensors on the engine.
- Custom baby!
In the end I felt a custom solution was the cleanest and best solution. For the following reasons:
1.) The material will last the lifetime of the van similar to how the 1.6na flange would; however, using the 1.6na flange you have to modify the hose route which isn't too clean to me; more parts. Or you would have to create a modification plate which in the photos I saw looked kinda hooky more possible leaks.
2.) I could have went with the normal flange itself and blocked the over-flow barb (which over time may need replacement) and used a later AAZ temp sensor (for coolant temp & glow plug), but then you have a mix-match set of sensors on the van. This would make over-all support a bit more "specialized". The custom flange mimics the diesel setup to the T.
I already have a sensor at the front of the engine block for the glow-plug, so that'd just be 'blocked up' using an AHU flange which is dumb. The engineer in me says mixing sensors makes supporting more a chore.

NOTE: The bolts on the flange are M6x55 and torque at 7nM, just use blue threadlocker and tighten snug by hand

Comparison to the CS one (068-121-133M):
In order to simplify the coolant wiring/sensor for the mTDI build, I want to use the 1.6na diesel setup. This is for the following reasons:
Also, I am trying to swap the AHU flange 028121145 (Flange With Glow Plug Mounting) with a 1.6na 068121145K one.

The Details (my collected research before above work)
There's a decent article on TheSamba about what parts you'll need
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=410813&highlight=ahu+intake
What isn't needed from stock AHU Engine
If going mTDI the following are not required:
- electrical harness
- MAF sensor
- MAP sensor
- IAT sensor
- Injector #3 needle lift sensor
- Fuel temp sensor (inside IP)
- N75 & N18 valve
- Crank Speed Sensor; you just need to plug the hole up which the sensor without the wire does well at. However, that looks tacky and leaves a busted sensor. The other option is to buy a plug:

Tranny Upgrade
The TDI won't have any difficulty cruising at 3500 or even a bit higher. The only downsides are noise and a bit of a drop in fuel economy. If your preference is to cruise at 65, then I would gear 3,000 @ 65MPH. With that gearing you will be able to cruise at 70-75 if need be and will still be high enough in the rpms @ 65 to develop enough HP for cruising with a 'cushion'.
Max torque on a stock TDI is around 2200 rpm. Max hp is around 3800 rpm. The TDI seems happiest in a Vanagon between 2600 and 2800 rpm. You are above the max torque, but well below the max hp. Your gearing and tires will dictate what speed that is. In this ratio, I would think a Westy would be more the range of 2700-2900rpm to account for the extra weight; ~700lbs last I heard!

Parts to Obtain List
NOTE: some of these parts you can obtain from the used engine. However, as I want to use the used engine for another project someday, I rather replace what I need for it on the new long-block. Everything below takes a Long-block 1Z/AHU as the base up to an installable engine.
I don't include pricing since that's a fluxing item whereas a part description / number won't.
Transmission
I'm starting with an 82' diesel, so I *have* to upgrade my transmission or expect to blow shit up early on.
I'd love to go 5spd, but not knowing enough to go this route, I have decided on a rebuilt DK (80-82 air-cooled Vanagon transmission).
I would assume "most" going to a TDI would really want to regear their transmission or swap out their transmissions.
Decision
Since each setup is different for me I decided on the following:

My rebuild included:
- 3rd 1.12
- 4th 0.70
- LSD

P/Ns:
053115417A - Oil filter flange; This flange has been used for all the 1.8-1.9 gas and diesel engines (AAZ, 1Z and early AHU). The difference being the later AHU adaption have two 10mm ports and one 12mm port (for the Banjo Bolt N0210717) instead of the three 10mm ports that the gas/ABA engines use. There's no 'real' way to know which you get by searching for the P/N. Your best luck appears to be searching for a "MK3 TDI oil filter flange" or maybe "AHU" also in the search string.
There's also two other indicators of the proper one you received.
