So there is no question as to what the wise route would be!
To me Turbo requires EFI, without it you are running on "borrowed time". EFI alone doesn't make big HP gains, yet it does increase torque by a solid 10+% in my direct testing with carbs. EFI offers extreme drivability and down low punch compared to any carbureted engine.

Yes, I'm aware about the fact that the displacement is within the regulations but not the stock power output on the Type IV.. That must be under 60hp (stock 50hp + 20%) That is the problem..
But by using a Type 1 or 3 engine with the same displacement it then is open for any tune up except the turbocharging which requires a Dynotest which shows that the maximum output on the Turbocharged engine is 60hp... BTW. There are several "60hp" beetles in Finland
I even know of one that is 60(0)hp and "streetlegal"...
Yes, choconito. I have a few options regarding the programmable fuelinjections too.
For some reason I would feel that the VVT as we say here is more cool (VVT translated is like DRT=Dare to Refuse Turbo...)
It is pretty easy to make a powerful Turbocharged engine, but if you want a powerful engine without you need more skill and more money...
