All I can say is that there is no similarity at all between the stock brakes and all-round discs. You guys use Volvo parts, we use Golf.... all the same in the end.

Yes, I know.. drum works.. for a while.. then they fade.. and you have to slow down

Well.. it's winter soon!

still have to laugh at the fond memories of 4 drums, each with different stopping capabilities. Keeps you awake and well tuned to your immediate environment

Don't miss the last update on the previous page

Update

Here is some pictures from yesterdays work!

Started the left intake and the center piece!

Testmounted the IC, alot of room under it!

It doesn't stick out far either!

Testmount of the hood!

The IC will have nice fresh air coming from the top

I will make some tin that force the air through the IC and out through the vents in the hood!

A better picture of the "shelf" and airbox. The airbox will get sounddeading material both on the in and outside!

Found a picture on the net of JonasNs red turbo typ4 bug!

I had this little thing made out of 40mm alu. roundbar..

It's for oilsupply.. 1/2 hose connections in both ends and one 3/8 output for the turbo and of course 3 x 1/8 holes for the temp and pressuresenders

Jonas, Looks almost ready to fire. Are you planning any paint or leaving it a sleeper? My own type IV turbo baja bug project is coming along. Tell me what you think.

I bought a boost/vacuum gauge and a manual boost controller. I got a 7000 rpm VDO tach. When talking to Jake Raby he said definitely stay under 6 lbs of boost. Do you think the length of the intake runners is going to affect the responsiveness of the engine? In purchasing an oil pressure gauge how much oil pressure should I expect? I'm old school so I'm running a holley 390 CFM four barrel with vacuum secondaries with a K&N air cleaner. Thanks for lookin, Rich King

culman1234 >> Looks cool! Those long pipes will make it boost later.. but I don't think you will ever notice the difference

Tell me more about your engine ? whats in it ?

I don't know about the oilpressure.. I can't remember how much the pressure was on the last engine

I'm a EFI guy! but you can get alot out of carbs to!

Update

I'm pretty pleased with the result.. this is just a mockup.. the hoses and wires will be "fixed nicer"

Overview

Another angle

Turboside..

Closeup on the right side..

Insideview, the msdbox is where it should be.

There is space left in the engine compartment

Not much left to do
