jeez I am away for a weekend and I get back and there are 2 more pages, and people slinging sh*t left right and center. if this post had any serious
replies in it I might get offended :repuke
Peter, yes your valve clearances do different things with chrome moly pushrods. It just means you have to set them to a very small gap cold (cos the
clearance gets bigger when the engine warms up).
And for the people here who don't know, I had a 1915 for many years so I think I am entitled to have an opinion on them.

Wes you sure your not a bean counter,I checked out your budget, wow thats optomistic may be you should work at the ABS(not a brake shop)
with a budget like that youd get the job may be in defense they can loose mega bucks.:o
Why don't you just buy a jap shit-box and don't promote vw buggery.
That Baja is seriously butchered.

I can't quite figure out what your talking about. "optimistic" for my budget? But I have finished the project, that was my budget!
And since my V6 conversion has pissed you off so much, it reminds me of why I did it in the first place. :vader
There are plenty of people here who like the V6 conversion, and most people can see the reasons why I did it. As for butchery, so making a baja is ok,
but putting a different engine in is not. :puke

Steve Carter's turbo beetle (yeah it is watercooled but it still fits)
another watercooled but its still turbo ad fits
not exactly hi tech with draw thru SU but its an aircooled turbo that fits
another
All these pics form the nationals. There were more turbo cars there but the pics never made it to club veedub website.
Keith Hausler had a very quick turbo oval that was daily driven too.
Just a few to get you started.

chris, I loved seeing your turbo type 3 getting the crap flogged out of it a few years ago at raleigh. I got some video footage of it somewhere,
including the big lose down the straight. man that was funny to watch 
not as entertaining as luke pell in his turbo offroad buggy though
