Get a copy of the Bosch Fuel Injection book.  I've actually read the whole
thing and found a lot of good information in it.  Really it isn't all that
hard -- there are quite a few pieces and most of it has to be just exactly
right for the engine to run perfectly but the engine will run well with some
problems and okay with a lot.  If you are concerned about the complexity of
the wiring for a swap contact David Marshall for one of his custom plug and
play wiring harnesses.

When I got my first beetle, I was 18 and literally did
not know how to change the oil.  I bought a Muir and
learned.  Eventually bought other books, or all the
books pertaining to 1600, and tackled two full
rebuilds (a friend and my own).  So what do you
suggest for someone needing to learn about FI? >>
