The pictures of the car look to me older than the pictures of the individual components, but I assume that they are just as old.
Do you know what became of the car?___
That's a 901/914 gearbox. Did it stand up long to the punishment? I have destroyed too many to believe that they would last behind a turbo engine (even with a steel reinforced intermediate plate and spray bars).

Your welcome
The pictures of the car and engine are scans from pictures taken 15+ years ago.
The component pictures were taken within the last couple of weeks.
The car was sold on Ebay about 18 months ago.
During the 90s the car ran as a 2.0 in it's first configuration and later as a 2.4 and finally a 3.0 all were MFI. The 901 gear box was rebuilt on a regular basis but never failed to finish a race weekend.
The turbo was built but never raced. The plan was to take on Pikes Peak.
The turbo engine was a 2.5 liter (66x90mm) aluminum case engine that only made around 320 hp. The turbo project was also built with mounting brackets for a 915 tranmission. The engine was finally disassembled to build a special project. I hung on to the turbo bits because I always though i would build that great little engine again.
