Post by: adams mk2 on 20 May 2010, 17:46

found out today that it was weber 45's you put on golf 16v mk2 :P so could you fit them and wot would you need to do? how much would it cost to set them up by a specialist?

From what I've read.


They need to be jetted to the correct engine size and need to be setup correctly, probably with the use of a rolling road.

Your best bet is to ring a local company and ask how much it would cost, or find the names of a few well known specialists.

bogg brothers manifold, or something similar.

Carb's sound great but they are bit expensive. You'd be better off speaking to Badger5 for some ITBs if you've got dosh to burn.

These are from an ae101 20v silvertop... bore spacing is 0.5mm off VW... I'll be having a play with them later this year.
