Re: carb vs fuel injected

the stock vw fuel injection was good for more hp up to about 6000 rpm but after that it doesnt work very well. If its a good aftermarket kit(usually very expensive) then you could get some pretty good numbers out of it. I would just stay with carbs, they are easier to tune and can make some pretty decent power out of a dual setup.

Re: carb vs fuel injected

sounds good to me. dual carbs seems to be the most popular route anyway. thanks
