Please, as many people as possible respond to this poll - it WILL affect future availability of bolt-on performance additions!!
Thank you! PS If you are concerned about anonymity, do not be, voting does not identify you, only typed replies do - So please, almost 100 views and only a scant handful of votes?!? Even if you already have your dream equipment do not hold back and vote as if you were once again at the starting grid!! THANKS!! |

Exhaust (headpipes) [ 0 ] [0.00%] You already have the choice of 4 different headers, with the number 1 being the Tangerine Racing headers, the bottom of the list is the Kerry Hunter at about $400 or so...you'd have to have them way cheaper and as good or better than the KH units to sell any Exhaust (muffler) [ 0 ] [0.00%] already a few choices, none have been dyno'd back to back to see who the winner is unless I've never seen it... complete exhaust [ 1 ] [25.00%] see Tangerine for this, costly, yet proven new design cooling fan [ 0 ] [0.00%] the DTM works, and I believe BrianM is working on some design ideas electrical engine cooling in addition to stock [ 0 ] [0.00%] if your cooling system is already taxed to the limit, I wouldn't want to have to rely on something electrical that could fail and take the engine with it.. Tuned intake plenums [ 0 ] [0.00%] so you have thousands of dollars for dyno time?? might need to have a new exhaust to compliment the intake tuned intake assemblies (complete replacement) [ 0 ] [0.00%] see above about the tuned intake... Turbo charger system for fuel injection [ 2 ] [50.00%] I'm building one for myself as we speak..well sorta, I started and just have to finish the intake side of things, exhaust is complete... Turbo charger system for carburetion [ 1 ] while carbs do work with turbos, why stay stuck in the dark ages??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) UMMM, OK --- May I ask your reason to go through all of the trouble to explain your each and every position for a poll?? |

Seems like a funny question for someone with over 1000 posts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I thought Muller was exceptionally brief. Good thing I'm not done typing my post. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) And Jake hasn't even voted yet. |

Easy Mike, I meant no ill will with that question - this is a poll and as such all polls must be unbiased so as to aquire true results. Actually I typed an apology about 15 minutes ago and then was kicked off the board and only just now got back on, just so you know. As you made mention there are a few items being manufactured. However these are not the end all of developement, and as such this question and this poll is of great use to myself and is truly worthwhile of exploring. |

Tires. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Hey Eric, if I sent you 4 rear and 2 front calipers - AND two sets of rear arms (excellent shape) would that get me a set of 5 lug front rotors and a five lug conversion rear with rotors??????? |

actually, i think the 914 aftermarket is actually pretty good. for those bolt-on mods that would actually result in reliable performance gains, we already have numerous options.
the only thing i can really think of that is lacking is 15x7 lightweight 4-bolt wheels. |

Headers and freeflowing muffler are easiest and best bang for the buck bolt on improvements in my opinion. Then the bolt off options should be considered. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you are concerned about anonymity, do not be, voting does not identify you, only typed replies do - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) how old are you? 19? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) anyways, i haven't voted because you don't have any "Kompressor" listed. that would be my first choice of forced induction over any turbo system ...

QUOTE You already have the choice of 4 different headers, with the number 1 being the Tangerine Racing headers, the bottom of the list is the Kerry Hunter at about $400 or so...you'd have to have them way cheaper and as good or better than the KH units to sell any Several more in development now... Chris from Tangerine and myself are working to bring more options to all the Type 4 applications that are more cost effective, and truly developed- this includes the 914... Chris is taking it seriously and I look forward to the development work- The 914 following has already proven that they are not willing to buy a developed 914 Turbo system. The one I created is in the attic collecting rust because of open ended promises from guys with bigger mouths than wallets... Sorry, but its the truth..The sad part is that mine REALLY worked very, very well and made over 170HP on a 100% bone stock 2.0 with 80K miles on it! |

SuperCharger = "Kompressor"
But I did not vote because the bolt on for me would be a -6, it is a true built on ahh in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) But then about anything will bolt in there, my dad has a bitchin' set of tools we can fix it! |
