Custom header to accept turbo, Plate to bolt ehaust side of turbo to Plate to bolt intake side of turbo to. Some kind of FI with a throttle body, that fits in the 914 engine bay Intercooler if needed

Andrew, you don’t need a custom exhaust manifold to mount the turbo, you can use a standard header and weld on a flange. The flange cost $10.00.

The exhaust side of the turbo again mounts to a flange at a cost of $10.00. This flange in turn is welded to the standard exhaust system for the 914-v8 conversion witch you have to get anyway.

Intake side of turbo bolts to nothing just an air cleaner $20.00

FI with throttle body not needed at this point. A good rebuilt holly 650 will net you 400 to 500 hp rebuilt holly cost $150.00.

Intercooler not need at this point, you can run 5 to 8 psi no problems. Later you can get any intercooler and bump the boost up to 10 to 15 psi more power more fun, just for the price of an intercooler $200.00 to $400.00.

So like I said, it all could be had at a shoestring budget, you just have to put the time into research for parts.

Nuff said Andrew; at the end of the day I just want to help you get the most out of what every setup you go with. If ever you need information or assistance I am only an e-mail away. Good luck and keep us all informed on your progress.
