I guess oil stained carboard under this car is better than an oil pan to catch the seeping? If you live in a California this would make a great ‘fly & drive’ blog…for someone else. Liking the dual exhaust 🙂
Looks by like one exhaust is from the turbo and the other is the wastegate. Should make some interesting noises.
How does that O2 sensor and control we work with a DCOE Weber?
Darn iPhone keeps adding random words.
Turbos blowing through carburetors seems like a rickety house of cards to me. EFI solves an infinite number of variables that can only be guessed at with re-jetting.
I’d be tempted to install this on our ’49 Beetle if it looked stock. Which it doesn’t.
