If anyone is going to put a filter on the pressure side of the pump on an FI car, PLEASE at least use one that is rate for FI pressures.

If anyone is thinking about doing this, let me know, and I will get you specific part numbers as to the ones that work. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT (It drove) '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
