BAD PRESS? Where? Certainly not on THIS list! FI is far superior to carburetion and much more reliable and maintenance free, its basically a plug and play system. FI does have limitations with built engines unless its modified and that requires a lot of know how. 94.5 pistons in a Type 3 application wont last long, unless it's a T4 based engine and then you simply use the T4 injection system. High lift cams are the real problem when used with the D Jet FI.

I just bought a 70 T3 that I am restoring from the ground up. It has not run for at least 5 years, possibly more. With all the bad press about FI problems, I am thinking of converting to carburetion. Any ideas or recommendations of what set up to use. I AM building the engine with 94.5 pistons and probably heads with 041 valves. I am not sure 041 heads are the best combination.
