Actually, none of the 914's that I know of had a turbo, which means you probably found someone's cob job. Turbo's mean one thing HEAT HEAT HEAT... is that 3 things? anyway you need to look at the whole picture if you use a turbo, everything is different in a turbo engine as opposed to a normall aspirated one. And yes, the compression ratio is less in a turbo'd car. Keith > Thanks again to you guys who helped me earlier with EFI questions. > > I may be buying a 72 T3 with a 2.0L T4 engine in it.
