you stole my idea.
 

a dude is rebuilding a air cooled vw flat 4 at my school and i thought a turboed one would be cool. this is last week. and now i get to see it happen for real. I love you homemade turbo. other ---- im googleing is how to efi a flat 4, buick supercharged 3800 swaps, turboed jeeps, and new ideas to be the first dude who did a cool vehicle mod.

how much heat can a aircooled vw engine handle? how do you upgrade an air cooled, cooling system,lol?

Talk to the guy who's rebuiling it he probably knows. I'm not quite sure. It's not something ive looked into. Is his name Matt and does he go to msu by chance?

dont know your dude
 

i go to anoka tech. the dude rebuilding the engine aint upgrading it. just replacing parts. but i thought of turboing one when i looked at his engine on the stand. so i started searching the web. i found a few kits on line but i just wanted to read someones build thread cuz i wanted to know how its done to a flat 4 and also efi conversion but the closest iv found so far is this thread.

Haha. Well I guess I'll have to keep updating it then huh?

yup
 

no ---- sherlock. now hurry up and whip that thing together and put the pics up!

A demanding little ----! :p Alright. I had to chang the mounting position for the turbo.. Supergay! It's kinda hard to know where to put it without the car here. I'm moving all my ---- way up north so it might be sometime next week.

on a side note, that is one bigassed crank pulley.

It just looks big ;)

That's what she said. :(

More pics Meow! and more later tonight.
