You missed the point, there was no plummeting revs, no dodgey idle, it was setup by someone who knows what they're doing, which you mightn't be fortunate to access. If mateys kr runs sweet then just swap engine, but sure if components aren't functioning correctly and it runs crap then maybe think about full swap. I never got 40 mpg because I put it in there to thrash, which the Kjet loved every day. I've done some work on a mates an mk2 and he never gets to drive it because of digi problems. Just look at the threads posted on this forum and cgti about digi problems!! Over engineering for little or no gain onthese engines imo. I wouldn't tell you to run a 20vt on Kjet, but an abf, just do it. As said, if you want something 'rapid' you'll go 20vt eventually anyways.

My jet makes a 900bhp cossie look like its going backwards.. But considering we are talking golfs (given the website URL) then a Kjet abf is just as quick if not quicker than a digi. Good tuners can do a wur mod to sneak a bit more fuelling, not possible on digi. Kjet is known as more aggressive delivery too. Speak to people who have a good understanding of Kjet and they'll tell u it's perfectly fine for a circa 150bhp engine...

Kjet designed with performance in mind
Digifart designed with economy in mind

You are wrong. 

K-jet - designed to improve on a carb
Digifant - designed to improve on earlier injection systems like K-Jet.

Digi 3.2 will give you the most reliable, powerful and economic solution vs K-Jet.  Why?  Because it controls the systems on the motor in a more advanced and closed-loop manner.  A couple of examples:

Knock-control - two sensors, which will allow you to advance the spark more to get more power if you have better fuel
Lambda, MAP sensor and throttle-position-sensor - measures the burnt mixture, allowing the vehicle to manage the amount of fuel going in, to suit WOT applications, cruising and start up etc etc

The K-jet has a shaped bowl and a flap, which controls the amount of fuel misted and a warm up switch to enrich the mixture.

It is primitive and prone to failure.

Solid state components last much longer and are more reliable.  They can also respond faster.

Trying to suggest that the injection system fitted to the G3 16V GTI is 'for economy' is a stupid suggestion.

A properly built and managed high performance motor should be high economy too when it's not being thrashed.  That's what EFI allows you to do.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Better than K-Jet would though.
