soon i will be parking my bug for the winter (toronto), and im starting to get $$tupid ideas.
i have a 2332 dry sumped EFI, 10.7:1 wiseco, superflow 48x38, fk-89, 911 cooled motored street 2250lb 72 superbeetle. that can barely pull away from my buddy's 97 chipped BMW M3 from rolling 50kph to 160kph, this is where i let off. i want to be faster next summer need more power.
i have a 2inch merged header. i dont want to cut it. im thinking of running a 2 1/2 inch pipe from the collector flange bent upwards around the apron to where the turbo will sit atop the motor and after pipe and rubber hose to the throttle bodies. does this make sense? could it become a bolt on/off kit for my motor. turbo comes off and replace muffler and velocity stacks whenever pleased. i dunno. what u think?
after going through all the posts here i cant seem to find info on turbos for big cc motors. what size should i run? and what kind? does any one have experience with this kind of setup? what should i do?
thanks pete.
what should i do?

Who did the heads? That thing should put you on "full pucker" when you have the hammer down!
If you need a turbo, give me a shout, plan on $700 for a good one.

About 7 years ago Tracy at tgfab.com built the exact same set-up described, but he used blow-thru Dell's. It was 2300cc monster that would flatten your eyeballs!! If you want some good advice ask Tracy. You can check out his site at www.tgfab.com
Good luck!

the heads were first bought from kevin shull by a local guy. he opened them up and put the 48x38's in. he draged them for a while and then sold them to me. i feel that i need more seat time to tune it just right. havent been to the dyno yet, probably this weekend.
$700 seems cool but is a "good one" what kind and what size will it be. i dont know much about turbo specs and makes.
thanks pete
