I found out today that ground cables make a big difference (probably very late with that). Mine are all rusty and ancient looking. I replaced my battery ground and my car runs much smoother at idle, no more earthquake rattles!! I do need to replace my bellhousing-to-car cable and a 40 inch to ground my engine to the car (A 944 Turbo gained 15 hp by grounding the engine to the body at the track today) so I want to see if I can get any gain. But where can I find breaded ground cables?

there's some on a vw site. i'm sure you can find some long/short enough. if those are the cables you're looking for.

The engine isn't grounded to the body from Thw factory? I would have thought it was... where did the turbo run the ground from on the engine?

mine the earliest 83 you can think of so they might not have thought of it yet. The bolt holes to fit a ground is there, just no ground

Search for renlist member "Robby". He makes the "Iceshark" kits for our cars. You won't be sorry.

Its no problem to renew a ground... Just get some good cable and put it wher the old one is and sand the metal so it gets a good connection.

The cables that Robby makes are the best of the best. To someone that wants a product that is properly made,right guage wire,good connectors,in-line fuse,these are for you. A piece of lamp wire will make a ground but you won;t be happy. Do it one time and be done with it. Check it out and see what I'm talking about. Also search "Iceshark" as he was the orignal maker of this kit.Robby bought the rights to his kit from Iceshark's estate.

I could not find where to purchase the kit, can you provide a link for me? I would greatly appreciate it.
