So I'm wondering what the best way is here...
My 1.8L is acting a little bit funny when it comes to acceleration, it feels like all the power is gone. I can go from 1000 RPM's to 4000 without more increase in speed than maybe 10MPH in 1st gear.. and i IDLE at 1200 but thats when the engine is warm, otherwise its around 2-300..

Someone said its the fuel injection being bad from the begining, and that i should remove it and put Carbs on it..

Anyone has an opinion about this question?

My first impulse is to suggest you Turbo your 1.8...

But then again... I ain't Aaron (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/tongue.gif)


Me thinks the better questions for you to answer is:

Are you mechanicly inclined enough to attempt to repair this your self?

How much money have ya got that you want to throw at this problem?

Do ya wanna racer .... or a gas miser?
(Cause you can use the carbs later for a performance build)

Me thinks this will help US answer you...

Cheers,
