I see they make several kits and I know they made some for the VW bug also back in the day. Do these things actually cool the car down or just slow it down and are a waste of money? I see the kits are kind of expensive and I am sure the install costs some money also. I would think I could get an engine rebuilt or the syncros in the transaxle rebuilt for about the same price. I have never been in a 914 or seen one with AC in it. What are your opinions on getting one installed? If they do not really cool the car with cold air or bog the engine down......or just waste of money. This is for a future project.
