Yes, sir.
I have two Syncro vans running single carb., Euro, heated (by coolant and 12v for winter operation) manifolds with Weber Progressives, 009 electronic distributors and MSD coils.
The manifolds came from Single and Double cab Syncros in Canada and Europe.
I paid over $300+ shipping from Europe for each manifold, worth every penny BTW.
No more nonsense with all that fuel injection BS.
Kiss the cat and oxygen sensor goodbye as well.
There is a power increase from FI setup. I haven't dynoed and don't know how much, but I'll pull your stock WBX w/ FI for sure.

I have listed that I have purchased off eBay in the past and people seem to think it is a scam or BS, well, long story short.....you won't be seeing these manifolds on eBayUS any time soon, check eBay.de and beg the seller to ship it to you. Brushing up on your German really helps.

You can buy a dual carb setup straight from Gene Berg with linkage, BTW.

Subject: Vanagon's and Carburetors - Again

Has anyone ever seen a single carburetor setup on a WBX engine?

I'm looking for an intake manifold for such.

And also a dual carb manifold setup as well.

Thanks,
