There is very good reason for these changes!  The reason is it did
not work very well, just like the surbaru engines.  Change is and
engineering way of admitting failure.  I've been running the
Golf/jetta digifant on an inline 4 cly.   This is a much smoother
fuel system with much better low end.   If I had the time I would
rip out the vanagon digifant system and try the  Golf/jetta digifant
system on a vanagon engine.   SOmeone years ago, in Canida
had an old mechanical  CIS fuel system on a boxer engine.....
