i am looking in to trying to put a turbo on to my 1776 beetle. it got (044 heads big valvs polished and ported, twin 40 webers,
1.25:1 rockers, balanced crack to 5k, breather kit, 120 cam, cromoly pushrods and lightend cam followers.) and was thinking of trying to get the turbo from the wreckers. but what car shal i get one off? the engine had a deep sump and an external oil cooler but will it over heat if it runs right? can i still use the twin weber set up or will it be to hard? am i best to try and only use one? is it best to have to turbo blowing or sucking? witch is easyest? witch is best? will i be hard to set the card/cards up (mixture and tickover)? were do you get an oil feed from? has any one got and photos so i could get a better idear of the hole set up? and last what sort of power can i look at geting but keeping it reliabel (it will do the 1/4 in 16sec at the min). ps sorry about the spelling- posted
