The Crown kit was not available for sale in Cali. due to VC 27156. which is still on the books ! Since Crown would'nt sell me one , I got out the box of Ubends, mig welder, Bridgeport , a Rajay FB40 and with a little help from some friends> the type 4 turbo kit !
It's funny but that ad will be 30 years old in only 2 years...time flies when your under boost. That Washington Pl. address was a friends Porsche tuning shop called The Factory, and he handled the retail end of kit sales. His old shop is gone--replaced by a strip mall. Tito's Tacos is still on Washington place and still daBomb ! Our shop moved 3 times since '77-presently in Glendale Ca. That's all I heard back then "You can't turbo a 914"! This is the same car (in the B & W ad) today...3.2 biturbo 18 psi boost...
