I'm looking for an after-market fuel injection solution for my VW Squareback. It's a bored-n-stroked 2007cc beast with CompuFire DIS-IX ignition and 40mm Dellorto carbs. Those freakin' carbs are the death of me, I can't stand carbs and tuning them is beyond torture.

I understand FI and find it MUCH simpler and easier to work with, so with that in mind, any personal experienced recommendations? I'm looking for a complete system under $2000 -- I don't need ignition management, just fuel (but if it comes w/it I'll take it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). Laptop tuning would be great but not necessary. I personally think the CB Performance system is too much ($1800) for too little but without actually using it I could be wrong. I know about MegaSquirt but I don't want to build it, just attach it -- or is someone selling completed kits? KitCarlson? Wish there was better info out there on it (since he originally did have it on his Squareback) because it sounds good to me (especially the data logging).

Again won't work because of the cam.

Toby, please tell them your engine specs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

He WILL need a PEFI system

Copied from my web page:
2007cc Type 3 air-cooled VW engine. This engine in stock form is 1600cc.
CODE

OEM 40x35.5 ported & polished heads with 3-angle valve job
dual valve springs
8.0:1 compression (one reason she runs warmer than stock)
4063 Dee cam
Pauter 78mm crank, eight doweled to stock flywheel (previous flywheel was lightened but I didn't like it on the highway)
Rimco Super rods
Cima 90.5 pistons and cylinders
dual 40mm bbl Dellorto carbs
009 distributor
CompuFire DIS-IX distributorless ignition system
1.5 inch exhaust header (no heat exchangers), S&S merged collector


Engine was built by a very competent pro off-roader and is a real stump-puller. Dyno'd 91hp at the rear wheels (stock engine is rated at 65bhp). I don't want to get into a discussion about the engine, this is simply to show the engine IS NOT STOCK!
