I agree. I bought a 914 that had one of these fitted, and could never get it to run properly. I swapped on a pair of Webers, and it ran much better out of the box, and better still after a modest amount of fiddling. The single carb setup simply doesn't work on a T4. All of the T4 setups I've seen didn't use a bellows for cool air, just tin to direct air from "above" in to the fan. I've never seen a 411/412 setup, but the 914 and at least some Bus installations do it this way. --- Toby Erkson <air_cooled_nut@pobox.com> wrote: > When the opportunity comes to replace the intake > system please destroy > what's currently on the engine.
