As has been discussed on the list before, The Tiico engine is a 2.0L
block with a 1.8L head. When plugged into VagCom the ECU says it is
Motronic 9.0. The kit as I've seen it delivered does NOT have a fuel
rail. However a fuel rail is easily adapted and added to a Tiico. The
kit does not come with braided metal fuel lines.

It isn't impossible that for California a different ECU is shipped. I'd
have to dig into the GoldBrick to see what part number is on the ECU.

In short, Tiico's hp rating, MIGHT be correct, for the head block combo
they've put together. "Brand New!" Well, I guess that depends on your
definition of sex...
