Hi!

In another thread, I was mentioning that I wanted to convert my '73 914 2L FI to carbs, because my MPS does not hold vacuum anymore. Some people are making me think twice, and I am now wondering what would be the best solution. The MPS is no longer available new... at least here, because I've seen it for sale on a European site for a ridiculous price, more than 800 Euros. I read that it is possible to get it rebuilt, but that the material used for the rebuilt is not the same as the original, and the result is not perfect. Still, I would like to hear from people using rebuilds. Where did they get there rebuilt done. Are they working fine? How much is it to get an MPS rebuilt?

Another solution would be to buy a used one. Anyone has a clue of where I could find a good 037 MPS? And how much I should pay or it?

Cheers!

I'm not trying to promote any retail business here but I received a Performance Products/Automotion catalog yesterday that listed rebuilt MPS's for in the $250ish range so spares seem to be out there. No affiliation. Personally, if I was in your place, I'd so some digital EFI.

PS: in the classifieds is a complete 74 D-jet system for I think, a reasonable price, it includes the MPS.

Hi Jim!

Digital EFI... Do you mean something like the Megasquirt? It looks like an interesting solution, but it is rather expensive, isn't it?

Cheers!
