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.

I do know that the stock cam works better than the average high performance cam.


Its according to the characteristics of the cam... The stock cam should be eliminated as it creates cylinder head temperature issues no matter what the application, Turbo is worse...

I have several turbo grinds, but only two are released to the store presently, both are .500 lift with .050 duration that is very low and split. They idle like stock.

Damn you can throw a tennis ball down that port and never touch the sides. round exhaust port ? that must have been a trick.


Those are our turbo exhaust ports.. They have entirely different stub pipes and a totally round, super heavy duty exhaust sealing surface. These exhaust ports are available on the LE200/LE220 and the LE 220/ LE 230 hybrid heads specifically created for turbo. The port work is all done via CNC.

I have seven Turbo engines in the works as we speak, as small as 78X91 for my wifes convertible beetle all the way up to a 650HP 86X102 thats twin plugged, intercooled with every trick in the book..

I have made huge headway in 2006 with the TIV turbo program, I have learned many things NOT to do and I'll be sharing these in my writings soon, as they are verified with more experience and further test work.

"Its all in the combo"
That quote of mine can literally mean life or imminent death for a Turbo engine. Do it right and do it smart or it'll look like a horror film of 3 mile island-
