Well, the car is finally on the road. The motor mount that we fabricated is a nice unit. I looked at all of the others, and I did not find anything that made me feel comfortable to use. Our is a full cradle, we relocated the turbo and intercooler. Fabricated our own exhaust (ceramic coated), re-engineered the factory wiring harness and it truely kicks some major bootie. We ran a 2005 997 carrera and shamed him...bad. He could not believe it. We are finishing up the details on this kit and they will be offering it soon. Be sure to look for us at the German Auto fest. We will be there with bells on! Look for the two 914s that have "Porsche Turbo" above the rockers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

A brief history: kieth is my roommate. he thought it would be cool to install a wrx engine in a 914, and he bought an engine for his car. kieth's car still needs body, paint, and suspension work before the conversion will be installed in his car. kieth convinced me to do the subie conversion on my car, so my buddie mike and I designed the kit, i bought a 400 mile wrx 2.0 turbo motor, and my car is the one you see on the road today. as for the radiator, yes I used the renegade hybrids radiator. I think that installing the radiator in the engine bay like Scott Thacher did is a very cool idea but is not possible for a turbo application such as this one. pricing info will be available in about a month when the kit is released.
