pics of 914 turbo plumbing Options

[mattillac]

i was considering aftermarket pefi and a turbo for my
type-4 914, but plumbing the turbo without cutting out the trunk or using really long tubing seems difficult. anyone have a 914 with a turbo?
any pictures? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/monkeydance.gif)

So who wants to talk about designing a easy bolt on T4 turbo installion kit. What's the HP gain? What's the price point that would work?

it's the fuel/ignition management that is the killer of this idea...I don't know enough (nor do I care right now) about the stock FI to get it to work properly....once you add on an aftermarket FI, the cost just starts to skyrocket unless you get some of the smart guys like Ben to do thier own fuel systems.......

making the brackets and adapters are no big deal, the tubing if you want custom exhaust will be costly..of course no reason that it just couldn't be based on the stock or SSI heat exchangers like the few that are already up and running...the cost of the turbos vary.....I bought a used turbo similar to Bens for $75, i also have 2 newer more modern rebuilt turbos that I bought for $250 each. I only plan on using one...it's rated for 168hp...I was thinking that when i put everything together for my turbo motor, I'd build/make all the parts in duplicate and sell the 2nd "kit" once my installation was somewhat proven to work..not really looking to make a profit, I just would like to break even (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
