Thanks to all those that gave indespinsable info on where to get headers and prices as well as pics... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

But my project is going to require far more densly packed tubes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) . I am almost finished with my turbo motor..1.8, gotta get the heads done next, then I will begin buildin the exhaust myself. I need to put the last 15 yrs of working, building and modifying jet aircraft to some use (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) I should have the pics of my car up in short order.

But I was thinking, I get the pkging all sorted out for a true bolt on turbo system, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) and I will post all the development as it goes, would anybody else be interested? I mean, it is not fair that the type 1 guys get to have all the turbo fun ,,,right???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

I would love a bolt on induction kit that fits the OEM setup so all you need is a replacement ECU and a few other FI parts. Who wants to turbo witha carb....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Well, no-body makes any kind of upgrade for a stock FI setup. Period. The stock FI is late 60's technology-----it just cannot be done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

As far as carbs go---when I ditched my FI setup I got a verified 28 hp more on the chassis dyno---28 REAR WHEEL HP!

Look at a vws mag, you are sure to see a single sidedraft carb turbo system spitting out upwards of 250+ hp----SINGLE CARB! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

One of the latest editions of HVW's shows 2.2 liter cb performance fuel injected turbo terrors crunching out 335 HP!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Carbs are cheap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) and make prodigious power with very good fuel economy to boot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) ( my 1.7 gets 42-43 mpg in supercruise mode)

A stock FI setup just is not going to cut the mustard with anything more than a freer flowing intake and exhaust along with one of the smallest cams made for the car ( just a gnats ass above stock)

But now lets talk about space: more importantly, the space in your engine compartment that is fully cluttered with the stock FI setup. When you go to duals, all that which you cannot see now, is suddenly made open, clean, and extremely easy to work on.

So that is why-------Questions?????? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
