Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        i dunno, a blow through turbo setup on a carb engine, i think i'd rather go NA, although a blow through set up would be cool they do it on beetles all the time

          for the effort and money, wouldn't it be cheaper to go a big valve 1.8/2.0 on twin carbs, or maybe even a 16v?

          Althought I think this deviates from the originoal question a bit.
