I just got my full set of up-derfixen from the PCA...

Anyways...there was a great simple article about making the heat more efficient...

The reccomended lots of things, including filling the longs with foam beads....

The three I think are good for the 914

1) Wrap the heater tubes with duct insulation, there are two in the engine bay, one from each heat exchanger to the tube.
There are two in the trunk, up front...just paper.

2) Put a complete cover, except the gas tank filler, over the entire area between the struts and the dash.
Basically you are covering it up so no fresh air can get into the dash.

3) remove the fresh air boxand put a plastic cover on it for the winter...
