I am thinking of adding a Turbo Unit to my 914. It currently is a 1973 F.I. 1.7. I am getting different opinions and need some input.

Are there any kits for a 914, and if so, where can I purchase one?

Should I keep my F.I. or convert to a Weber Carb?

Will I have to fabricate any parts - and if so - what?

Do you recommend any reliable mechanics in the Los Angeles area? I live in San Bernadino County but commuting is no big deal.

For those of you that have a Turbo Unit - what problems can I expect from it? Is it reliable?

Thanks for the feed back.

Hey Ed,

Did you ever do any dyno time or a guessamate on the Hp?

Any problems with the stock heat exchangers? Some guys say its to long of pipes, what do you say.

Why did you put the turbo in the engine compartment? Because of the oil return? Are you worried about the heat in this area?

Thanks, Mark.
