Since I'm in the process of rebuiling my 2.0 engine, I was wondering why 914 high performance engines use 44 IDF carbs instead if 48 IDF's or IDA's. I'm not trying to build a race car or anything to much but want to upgrade my 40 IDF's.

When airflow is low (e.g. idle) a large venturi results in a low airspeed, which leads to poor fuel metering and poor atomization. The poor atomization means you have to increase idle richness to get it to run at all, and it still will idle poorly. Carb venturi size is a compromise between good running characteristics across a wide range of engine speed and load levels, and 40's and 44's have proven to be the best compromise for T4's of 2.0L or somewhat greater displacement.
