so how do your start it....like wat i mean to say is how is fuel gonna get inside the engine wen turning it on....since there is no air being sucked in with fuel at initial start up.....

[rxgrip]

The same way it would start without it, it doesn't affect it at all. The air that the engine is pushing through while cranking moves the turbo so the air/fuel isn't being blocked. kinda hard for me to explain in words lol

You hook up the turbo str8 to the intake manifold then the carb to the turbo?

[rxgrip]

yea. its a suck through style. the blow through style is a lot more efficient though.

[1966vduber]

Is there anyway you can take some close up pictures of the engine and send them to me?i also have a electric fuel pump with a 30 pic solex carb... Oh and another question do you have a blow off valve?

[rxgrip]

yea sure i still have some pictures. yes and no. its has kind of a blow off built in that had a spring that determined everything and i just wired it shut seeing as how a stock 1600cc isn't going to build enough to need it lol

hey i was thinking about doing this to my 69 beetle and was wondering where you got your turbo from?

@rxgrip

you cant have a blow off valve with this "suck-through" setup. i assume that by saying "thing with the spring" you mean wastegate

[1966vduber]

Ok cool the turbo i have has a internal wastegate so i should be good then... Thanks

[rxgrip]

i got oil from the pressure sensor and just put a "T" in line so i can still use the sensor. I returned the oil where the fuel pump is, i just use an electric fuel pump pump.
