Franklin fires up the turbo after building it and the trans, It should make about 170 at the crank with the turb. I just got a t3 header which is powdercoated and will upgrade the turbo to a t3 t4 hybrid and will bring the power up to 250 - 300!
BackyardBuild Summer 2012 Turbo VW Bug preview.mpg
Here is a preview of how the car sits now, summer 2012. I have about 95% of the bodywork done and have coated everything with 2 layers of black epoxy primer. Lots more tune up has yielded a good running late model classic VW beetle. As you can see I have a bunch of work left to do on the interior, but all the gauges and lighting function. To beef everything up on the 3SGTE engine I had to utilize an aftermarket ECU, I chose the Vi-Pec. The last part of the video shows what this setup can do. She's fast...
German look 1303s with 2.4 litre engine.
This 1303s German look custom came in for a tune up. Open the engine lid and instead of finding the stock 1600tp, you'll find the very healthy and potent 2.4 litre type 4 Porsche engine. Various modifications make this a very quick, but safe, street car.
