really thank's guys for this info,...
i found that i have to buy an electric fuel pump with a regulator, and fit the oil supply hose in the place of the pump, but my question is what pressure should i set the regulator to work with me...
thank's...

Interesting question and actually i dont have a clue...

One way to find out is to calulate how much fuel your jets can flow, along with the fuel requirement under boost and then find out the needed fuel pressure... If i remeber correctly weber 40 work at 2.5-3.0 bar in NA mode, so i wouldnt be impressed if your engine will require something like 6-7 bar (do not take it for granted plz and make your calcs or ask someone that has done it before or sells kits).

so is there any recommended regulator type, or any will do the work????
i mean is there any type have the desired adjustin-range u should recommend me by????

Cb Performance has a few pressure regulators... http://www.cbperformance.com

also check Holley

So your turboing a 1300? You'll want forged pistons, and by the way it's a magnesium alloy case which is even weaker then a aluminum case. You won't be able to get too much boost out of stock motor unless you go through it. After everything is said and done you would be better off with a built NA type 1 motor.

i'm not a specialist but the manual said that the 1300(44hp) code "F" engines has alumanium cases and the pistons is the same material as the 1500 engines, it's called a "steel strut alumanium alloy", i don't know this material is good or week but anyway i will never exceeds the 4 psi of boost(maybe less) and if my engine will give a gain of 30hp more or even less, i will be glad for that, cuz it's a daily driver after all ;-) , my other project is to buy a 1600cc engine(i don't like large disp. cuz i think more power from small disp. is the real performance) on my other 71 bug(need a full restoration) and installs a bigger boost range with forged pistons and c/w crank and everything it takes when i got some money in spare(i wish)....
but now my idea is to build a "street car" with minor modifications producing the best power it could safely gives, i took it as a chalenge ;-)...
