David, That may work for a while, but the Jetta/Golf pumps put out twice the pressure than the WBX pump. Was the Rabbit FI using lower pressure? If not, I expect problems may occur with either the pump or the pressure regulator. When I switched my Westy from Jetta power to Subaru, the pump howled like a banshee, so I had to install a WBX pump to match the pressure requirements. Larry PS-Received the OME's today, thanks!
