found this its the site for the blue beetle at the top...its a type 4 N/A and it is a drift car...so it can be done...maybe you can contact him somehow...just get the translator at hand...
aaaaa hek!!!!! hahahaha!!! thanks dubster!!! Germanlook it is!!!! i were under the same in impression that it were a 74, till i found the papers to get it register on my name, and found out it is a 76 moddel Jip!!! That was her in the Speed and Sound. Next step, get this yellow bug on the front page of S&S i will start a project thread on it
Took me 5years to get it like this, and still working on her all the way. Cant wait to get that turbo motor up and running.

Progress is slow, it is not easy maintaining two race beetle's and build a project.
I'm slowly gathering parts...

I decided to use the IDA manifolds and weld injector bungs onto the side. Instead of a carburetor on the top, there will be a boost box with a air inlet on the back. For now there will only be one set of injectors, we might add another set in the boost boxes later if needed.

Mehanol fuel pump Overkill you say??? This baby can flow 1000hp, which obviously I wont get to.
The flywheel has been sent to the engineering shop for lightening and then it will go off to dynamic balancing. We have found that on the big cc t4 engines you do need to make the flywheel lighter to save the flywheel bolts. It snaps flywheel bolts so clean off it looks like they've been cut with a grinder.

Looking good Louis.
Try source some 12.9 grade bolts. Those are nice and strong....
Anyway, here is what Remelle does to his flywheels when it comes to lightening them

I have done that a few times way back with the Flagbuggy then I got the crank and fly wheel machined to take Dell pins and that made a huge difference
