<VV> Re: Early vs. Late turbos

[G Fox]

I think this is the combo using both early and late turbo 
parts that Steve Goodman puts together. As I recall he uses 
it on his corvair powered Porche 911 and his vw bug based 
vehicle.

Both are his reverse rotation corvair engines with turbos.

Funny too, but think he runs 308 diff in his '62 Spyder and 
he uses third gear to pass other vehicles on the interstate 
if needed.
