Well it looks like the 914 header CAN be turned around and fit....almost.....I will need some shims and ticker gaskets. The only problem is that one pipe comes in contact with the oil sender on the bottom of the motor.

Whew...that's gonna save me a few bucks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

Will a Kerry Hunter turn around backwards? Seems like with the design the way it is (slip fit into the collector), you could maybe just leave a tube a little short in the collector to make up for a slight bit of length difference? Not having a 2.0/4 here to look at, it's pure WAG...

Where did you get that header, that would work perfectly in my 912 conversion? What is this about the supertrap? Did it mount on that header? Can you post a few more pics of the set-up and details on where you got it from?

You'd have to ask Chris Campbell about the header.

His site calls it a Eurorace 4 into one.....never heard of it....

I never did figure out exactly who Eurorace is/was, but they apparently make various engine and exhaust parts for the VW and NARP air-cooled crowd. The stuff was also sold thru FAT.

You dont want one Britain...

You can NOT mount a deep sump or a tuna can on the bottom of the engine.

Well, you could do a tuna can...but you would need to do a little surgery on that one bend....

As it is...I am going to have to dimple one pipe to clear the oil sender....

Yea, I see the problems.

Also, my car is so low that I am going to need something that is tucked a little higher and routed around the engine to the back passenger side so I can mount a muffler around the back for the outlet on the driver side.

What is a tuna can? Do you suggest I get a deepsump?

It looks like the collector will stick out the back of a 356, let alone the Supertrapp. Not to mention the ground clearance issues with using a header like that on a rear engine car. You'll have to keep the ride height at about 8" to avoid tearing the header off at every speed bump. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

It replaces the sump plate. Cheap, easy alternative to a "true" deep sump.
