Check www.ststurbo.com they put it away from the engine. I would think it would have a big turbo lag. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Most are just cheap asses period, thats why I have't really been developing any new 914 specific stuff for a while. I was very reserved when I started on the design for the 914 DTM because of this and had to get a bulk of interest before I started doing it...
My best customers are VW guys. They spend the most money and want the most performance from what I do..... Isn't that funny as hell??? Alot of them never even ask how much it costs until we do a proposal and they never question the money... The 914 crowd generally is 100% opposite, they ask about price in the first email and try to cut any corner they can to save a buck! This just started happening about 3 years ago, the 914 work fell off and the VW work took over. I'm cheap too. I build all my own engines out of junk from other blown stuff and screw ups on the dyno.. But my labor is free and tools/equipment are a write off and that makes a big difference.. |
