Hi Volks!! Took my first trip with the air cooled tranny in Velma and
loving the rpm change at 60-65mph. With a slight tail wind we squeezed out
approximately 31.4 mpg on mostly river grade!! Now the downer, now we need
more power!! The hills are slow going and a head wind we can maintain. I
found a turbo kit for about$ 500.00 which includes turbo,down pipe,intake
and exhaust manifolds but would have to get a turbo vanny intake manifold
that I've seen for$ 60.00. The problem would be finding the forged crank
and installing piston oilers. Im thinking I could do a full rebuild into a
turbo motor for about the same $ as a used AAZ motor! Will a 1z ahu tdi
head match up to my 1.6 ??  Thinking more efficient being direct injected
and  better flow from head and camshaft profile?? Decisions decisions!!
Thanks for any info!!
