turbo options and motor to go with it
Right now I'm just in the planning stages of a Beetle, so I am trying to get a list of all the parts I want/need.
So far from my searching I have found 3 companies (I think thats all) that make a turbo kit for a type 1. low budget 1600T kit. starts at $2195.00 http://lowbugget.com/1600t.html CBperformance hideaway turbo kit $3,095.95 http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=286 Turbocity turbo kit $1995.00 http://www.turbocity.com/VWTurboKit.htm I don't know anything about the turbo that comes with the CBP kit (Schwitzer SlA turbo), but the Turbo city and the low budget kit say they come with a T3, which I have read is a good turbo. The CBP kit says it will fit under stock deck lid. Turbocity says you have to use spacers. I didn't see if the low budget kit would fit under stock deck lid? CBP kit comes with dual carbs, the other two go with a single carb. Judging from the info on these kits, which one looks like the best kit? They all look like they're very complete. I am planning on building a street motor specifically for the turbo. Something strong and reliable that will get me to work, school, dates etc. I'm not just gonne slap this thing on a stock motor. ![]() Any suggestions on what motor combinations I should go with (specifically for turbo apps)?
