Re: Dawie (Freeflyd)'s 4Y Golf Carb Conversion
Hi Reinhart I couldnt tell you how much difference there is between original and after market, other than the original being more reliable due to the stricter manufacturing process of an original part.

ek het gedink all die manifolds is maar die selfde, maar dit lyk asof jy reg is. dit kan wees dat die weber verskil van die standaard carb

I will swear by the conversion as it has worked wonders for me. A good mate of mine did the conversion on a standard vehicle and says he has much more power but worse consumption. two other guys i gave the template to are over the moon. I think the trick is to use the original carb or it wont work. ...
