I don't meen to burst your bubble, but "ultra-low cost" and turbo motors don't go well together. Low cost can be achieved by doing a draw through system as apposed to a blow through, but the drivabiliy of a blow through is much better. There is a kid running around are town that has taken his 914 with a progressive 2barrel webber & turboed it buy putting the entire carb inside a "steel salad bowl" and sealing the manifold pipes into the bowl. Then running boost to the bowl. This is probably the cheapest set-up I have seen, but he is now seeing leakage out of the heads. All the turbo motors that I have done (type 1 or type 4) I have used copper head gaskets and forged pistons, these 2 expenses on the type 4's was quite steep. Hope you can figure a few extra finances to help you put this thing together. good luck
TYPE 4's RULE espicially TURBO ones
