I was flipping through an old Excellence from 1990 and came across this ad. Hard to believe that they sold zero kits. Anyone out there seen one?
The 'cheap' kit was $1495 in 1990, which when accounting for inflation would be $2500 today (according to The Internet®). Wonder what turbo it is.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Attached image(s) |

I spoke to Bernie about 10 or 15 years ago.
he told me he lost money on every turbo kit he sold because of all the bench racers and tire kickers. he had to spend countless hours answering phone calls and talking to potential cuistomers who never bought anything. In the end he threw it all in a dumpster and said good riddance. And ferg's right, you can't turbo a 914. Attached image(s) |
