OK, people, say it with me...
"Everybody knows you can't turbo a 914!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) No guide, no kit, you gotta do it all yourself. Learn to love welding, learn to love research and reading the Corky Bell book "Turbomania", and maybe get a couple of extra engines just in case you blow yours up... There are pics of a couple of turbo setups around, but none that I know of where the turbo has run off of D-jet. (Did Jeff Shyu ever take pics of his D-jet turbo setup?? Aaron?) --DD |
