I am looking to turbocharge my 75 914 1.8 and need some help. Ive been researching a Megasquirt 2 system and would like to use it to control my fuel injection and ignition timing on my car. I was wondering if i could use my stock F.I. system as my base, so my first question is if anyone has a diagram of the fuel injection system on a 1.8 914. im trying to see what i need to add and what i can delete to work with a turbo. i have alot more questions but ill stick with one at a time to give me time to research and use the wonderful search button. thanks for the help.

Nopers, I did all the tuning myself.
The 914 I did old school reading plugs and exhaust pipe and by ear. It worked, even with a side draft weber which isn't the easiest thing to modify.
For the 911 I used an LM-1 wideband O2 sensor thingy. It makes it alot easier, no guess work, no james bond spy stuff.

If you get serious about it and really go after this project right, plenty of guys here will jump in and provide technical support.

BTW, with 7 psi on an otherwise completely stock 1.8 you would prolly be close to 150 hp but the cool thing is your engine would rev happily to 6500 without falling off at all. The more it revs, the harder it pulls. That's because the turbo provides pressure to overcome the restrictions of the intake system and the restrictions in the heads. That means the engine doesn't run out of breath at high rpm like a N/A engine.
That 150 hp would feel like 300 and you wouldn't be able to scrape the shit-eating grin off your face with a shovel.
Now I wouldn't recommend going to 6500 with one of these engines but you could do it if you wanted to. I had my turbo 2 liter to 6500 plenty of times.
