AeroVee Turo Fiasco...........?
I hear your comments Robbie and wonder about some of these new (?) builders speculating all sorts of "fixes" to bring back this "dead horse" for extinction (my opinion). The idea of water cooling the turbo or having a separate oil system is definitely going down the "experimental road" a lot farther than I would care to go. There are way too many failure points that they will be creating.
I guess these folks have never flew or hostile country or large bodies of water like I have and likely you have as well. Reliability is PARAMONT.....! Extracting more than 80 hp from a VW is risky and fool hardy at best.
I admire their courage............! (?)
