I know there a few people out there with turbo 4's. Does anybody have any performance or reliability figures.

I have never ridden in a 914 with a Turbo, but I have built Turbo TIVs for beetles and driven them..
I was not as impressed as I thought I would be.. It can be done, but not very easily and not without some pain along the way, and some "over engineering" If you do it, run a 90mm bore- the heads will stay sealed off. My favorite one used a 90.5mm TI piston with a longer rod on one of my custom stroker cranks with a TI journal. It was actually successful. |
