- Allways wondered about a turbocharger on a diesel. more power and better
- gas milage. Sounds pretty complicated/unreliable for not much gain. A good
- midrange cam and dual webbers instead of the fuel injection may go further
- and faster on an older (pre emissions) bus. BTW to justify one's concience
- about pre-emmissions hotrods: a well tuned older perofmance engine usually
- burns a lot cleaner than a "stock" early engine. Webbers are beautiful.
