Hi All,
The 914 as supplied does not normally come with the cylinder shroud, the 912S
has
that as a standard fitment. It is available for the 914 as an option [ but
VERY EXPENSIVE !]
Tests indicate a drop of oil and water temps of about 10 C when the shroud is
fitted.
If the shroud is left on, then the cowl MUST have the air inlet fitted, if the
shroud is removed, you needn't cut the inlet.
The air scoop cut into the lower duct is to let a bit of air flow past the Turbo
on the 914.
Hope this clears up any confusion ?
Cheers,
Nev.

I was idly looking through the engine installation manuals on the club
website and was looking through the 912/S manual (I have a 914).
It talks about a cut-out and splash moulding in the front of the cowling to
direct air into the cylinder cowl. The 914 manual does not mention this but
my 914 is fitted with the cowl, should it be? Do I need the cut-out/splash
moulding or will the little bent tab in the cooling duct to the radiators
(which is missing on the 912/S) do the job?
