Take a look at an Volkswagen Fox.  Pretty much the same way. Air box on the
driver side.

2.0L Audi [code 3A] with CIS fuel injection [no oxygen sensor] set at 2.0%
CO [less than optimal for fuel economy, optimal for power] there is also a
knock sensing ignition from a 86 Jetta GLI set to 12 BTDC [again power, not
fuel economy].  The main systems that I will be packaging are CIS-E with O2
sensor.  This will produce better fuel economy and get you legal in the
emmisions department [for BC anyhow].  Timing can still be set to 12BTDC as
this gives you 5 to 6 more hp without sacrificing bottom end torque.

Currently - no, in the works- yes.
