Hi I’m new here, new to VW engines and buggies lol. I bought this engine from Dennis and would like to continue its story with you guys if that’s ok?

If it were me, I'd get dual carbs. If not, what are you going to use? What's this engine going into again? (And by all means, keep this thread going!) Welcome to theSamba!

I bought killshot fuel injection and have 3 turbos of various sizes to try. Still learning the page I’ll figure out how to post pics. I have a dune buggy I bought cheap I’ve been fixing up.

Jack, what size engine and what are your plans to do with it? That efi is big, but I guess it could work in one way or another on a large displacement vw engine. All with one of those 3 turbos.

I’m continuing the engine built in this thread by Dennis. Putting it in a sand rail.

I don’t really have the flare for writing like Dennis but I have made small progress to the build and taken some pictures. I’ve started small porting work on exhaust gatherers and the turbo inlets didn’t match the gaskets so they got a little more of the venturing effect. I bought the supplies for the custom intake adapter I’m building. Will be another week or so before the motor brake really gets started
