Re: [T3] FI for Carbs


FI gives good response across the whole rpm range, while the stock twin carbs
work better as rpm increases, and there's that nice induction noise with the
carbs.  I get slightly better mpg from the carbs in the Squareback than the FI
Fastback, but acceleration is better in the Fastback, and it's smoother below
30mph in top than the Squareback.  I wouldn't change either - they're best kept
the way they were made.

Don't swap out an original black Bosch coil for a modern blue one - they are
much lower quality.  My '71 still has its original black Bosch one and it's
fine.
