Just wondering if anyone has one of these laying around somewhere. Only after one for future plans, as I should be concentrating on getting the car together and on the road first.

Thanks, Kevin

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

As am I.

and I remember that auction too, I was bidding until it went above $400 I think it ended up going for something stupid like $800, the funny party is i think it was advertised here and there were no takers for like $250

Build yourself one. You can get better flow and turbo position.
Look for my build in the members rides section to see how I did mine.
Bit more that the CB version but well worth it. The design also depends on how wide your motor is like my 2165 wont fit your 1915 etc.
Iswinkles (2443T) in the dragracing section had one a while ago for sale like mine or mine is like his etc.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
