Mega bucks?  you didn't plan on buying every FI piece individually and plugging them in did you?  Bosch FI book-20 bux, pressure gauge-make your own for 15.  So you got 35 "mega" bux wrapped up into trouble shooting your FI.  BTW, you might learn something too..:)

    Well, I decided to go ahead and pull the cat... and I'm glad I did.  Seems the PO had stripped the cat... just a hollow pipe now...  so I guess I'm back to the FI again.  To say the least, I'm sick to death of it.
     
    About 10 years ago, I had a T-3 wagon and put a Webber progressive carb on it when the ECU fried.  Has anyone tried this with an air-cooled vanagon.  Dual carbs are such a hassle to keep balanced (had em in a 72 bug once upon a time), so I would like to go with a simple carb if possible.  I'm really not up to spending mega bucks figuring out how to make the FI work right.
     
    Any suggestions?
