It's mapped for E85. Luckily, we still have 1 station with E85 on the pumps in my town..
I'll have to check witch Trond regarding boost pressure, but it's not really high. Below 2bars/30psi I believe.

I also bought the gearbox matched to the engine. Really sweet SA transmission.
Full weddle internals, weddle R/P, Paul Guard ATB Diff, Karpiola axles etc.
Can't wait until the first spin in the car after a complete makeover

What model of Guard ATB have you got in your swingaxle case?

Are there several different ones?
It's a acceleration locking one, not on deceleration.

I was just looking up Guard's website and couldn't see one that would fit a SA beetle trans. Did you mean Quaife perhaps?

My guess is that he turns his ads to the crowd that brings the deepest pockets

Not much of a picture, but it's all ready to pick up!
It's a ~600mile round trip to get it, so I'll bring Kalle, and make a weekend out of it.
Maybe get to look closer at Trond's new race car as well!

No. It's 99% the same, but it's from VWSpeedshop in the UK. Only difference is that this is in stainless steel

Parts sold. Engine bought...
I know who bought your parts and believe me, he is a real pain in the ass. He will never leave you alone and always be the guy that is standing on your shoulders
It is just so cool that I`m no longer the only turbo guy in our garage. We certainly have the roof height for more turbo guys
Our garage during the winter. Traditionally a Cal-look NA/IDA garage until I started experiencing with nitrous and later turbo;
From the good, old days when they focused on something completely different;

LONG 18+hr day, 14hr drive in pissing rain. 1000km/600miles...
Played Tetris to get it all back, but now it's finally in the hangar!!
AND!
Not every day you get to test sit a mid 8sec car!
