To keep an eye on the air/fuel ratio I permanently mounted a wideband afr meter. This way I can always check that everything is running like they should.

The last for today, the wastegate spring has now been changed to 11psi (0.78 bar) Low boost. And high boost through the electronic controller is 1,2 bar. This week is the big day on the dyno then we'll know what power she makes.

. Also I now got a connection for avgas and some good fuel mix to substitute the 102 race fuel that our government discontinued.

Avgas, methanol, a emulsifier and maybe some special juice (nitro methane) for high boost.

I personally do not like tolouene as it does not mix too well and it buggers up your fuel lines.

Wow!I really like your Beetle
I like the look of the TSW Razor wheels on a Bug, it looks awesome !
That crank sensor mod looks very interesting, do you guys sell them?
Keep up the good work, it's simply stunning

That specific crank angle sensor is from a 330 bmw. I had to use that one because of the small dia 60 -2 wheel. If you use a bigger wheel you can use the fiat uno turbo sensor which is about a 1/4 of the price.

The windows are lexan lightweight panels.

(except for the front windscreen
I had a set of 17" razors on my beetle and replaced them with these 15"s. There was almost no traction with the 17"s, I use to spin them silly.
