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

actually gint i make very good money right now my problem is saving it haha. right now though i have about 2500 and im selling the ol aircooled vw too so i might be looking around the 4-5000 dollar range. if im going to buy one i want a one thats not going to be horrible (i made that mistake when buying my bug) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
