hey first and foremost im new to the world of 914's, but ive been an avid aircooled vw fan for 2 years now(im 18 now). so here's my question. what should i look for when buying a 914? what years engine size fuel injection or carbs? im planning on making it my daily driver/hill climb car. i can bore out engines for performance but i was wondering if there is a bolt on turbo kit or do you have to fabricate all the header tubing etc. looking foreward to gain some knowledge from the wise 914 owners

Like Dave said look out for rust, rust, and most important of all rust. There is a ton of information on the site, by using the search feature you should be able to find an answer to any question may have. Also check out the "914 info" section (there is a link at the top of the page) for more info on engine years and options.
