Interesting stuff if you're into this kind of thing. It's not that uncommon to find that someone has tinkered with an air-cooled engine without being aware of some unusual and subtle requirements.

The engine in this car was originally designed for the C-Coupe from the early 2000s. That was a port-injected, naturally aspirated affair.
