Hi guys,
Tried the search option but can't find what I'm looking for. I know that the Cali 1976 914 2.0 has a smog pump/system to pass emission test. If such a system is not needed in your area, would you remove it or leave in place ? Will you gain more power without this system ? If you remove the pump should you only block of the lines with caps you can buy at AA or else or are there any other modifications needed ? Other exhaust ? thks yr advise krgds Dax |

I also have a '76 which the previous owner removed all of the smog equipment. He left the air injection tubes in place and used brass caps and JB weld to plug them. Eventually one of the tubes blew out of the head taking all of the threads with it. I replaced the heads with a set of rebuilt '74s since it had previously blown a spark plug out on the other head which had to be helicoiled. Currently running '73/4 style SSI exhaust which seems to make a big difference. It also has Euro flat top pistons. Good luck.
