Hi
New member here with a new to me bad ass
914 ( big /4) with webbers

I just bought the tangerine throttle linkage
To replace the home made linkage that was on there and did work well for a while

I know that if it’s from tangerine it should be quality

But I also ordered this induction from Germany

Anyone have this ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
And will it clear the tangerine throttle linkage ???

Who I’m sure would be turning in his grave knowing I spent 999 euros on a intake ������

This is brilliant. This is what we need.

I question if the stock horn has enough opening to feed it, but thats a fixable issue if its an issue at all.

My engine is stock other than the mild carb cam and intake seems to be more than adequate, but like you said, could easily be configured any way you like. I was told that someone measured air temps around the engine bay several years ago and if I'd have just run the horn straight out to the left side, it would probably suck colder air than up by the cooling fan that required the fancy bend.

I keep thinking that a person could 3D print the housings, intakes and whatever horn config is preferred and have a plug and play retrofit kit for old bus air boxes. The mounting bracket would also need to be manufactured.

The configuration shown in the video did wind up interfering with rain tray so I wound up having to chop the bracket down and mod the intakes a little to make it fit. Still looks and works the same, just sits a couple inches lower in the bay.
