It is just the reverse. The original FI works better and more reliably than any carb conversion ever could. This summer I will be in the market for a Porsche 914. That's another car where many people, mostly out of pure ignorance, have opted to do carburator conversions. I would not touch any of them with a 10 foot pole. jens ---------------------------------- Jens Vagelpohl Webmaster www.type4.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
