And I'll bet it makes LESS power than it would with a single, properly designed turbo.

i'd like to hear that car @ wot.

You'd probably hear the head leaks from a mile away. PROPERLY designing a TIV for Turbo is no laughing matter. The base foundation/design doesn't offer much at all that favors boosted cylinder pressures.

Not to mention its bass ackwards.......

Its still pretty

Does look nice...

Sorry..

That don't count.

Just curious Jake. WHen turboing a type 4 can stock 914 pistons be used or dished bus? OR does it require alterd aftermarket? I don't want to do this. Just curious.

Stock pistons are good for about 7-8 PSI, if you don't stay on boost long.

the pistons are considered the least of one's worries.

keeping that boost within the confines of the combustion chamber is everything.. If it finds a patyh to the atmosphere it'll cut a trench that looks like a cutting torch did it in a matter of seconds...

Not to try to hijack the thread, but there is mention of a turbocharged Porsche 914-6 prototype in the book, Porsche 911 -perfection by design by Randy Leffingwell.

Has anyone ever seen pictures or knows anything of that car? In all these years, this was the first I had ever heard of it. I don't believe that even Porsche - Excellence was Expected (ie the Bible) has mention of this car (if it actually exists).
