SCHTOP! This tuning is not ready. Don't be so hasty, go buy a car with a sealed bonnet, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Put down the spanners and back away from the Golf.
I think the man does know how much he's running -
figures just here. If you're going to come in being even more negative and miserable than me then at least do a little research and read up on the guy you're trying to pull apart.
It's like you've not bothered reading the considerable spread of information that's available on this forum - if the guy wants advice he'll ask and we'll probably help him out.
The hedgehog is there for a variety of reasons, to ensure good and consistent fuel vapourisation as well as helping to keep the intake temperatures within range. I took mine down a reasonable distance and with a PB head and cam, with the injector ports blocked off with pennies under the injector collets it went like a proper fun little tool. A LOT better than standard.
If I'd had the advice and support that's on here when I did mine I would have gone down the port-matching route too and liberated a bit more power.
Although there are many reasons to go injection, keeping with a simple Weber 32/34 DTML carb (appropriately jetted) and a suite of engine mods is going to get some cheap gains, as well as a whole load of education for the person doing the mods - if you don't try, you won't learn.
You *could* fit a GTI motor and run it on your DTML - fit up your inlet manifold and fueling systems to the motor and the pennies to the injector ports and away you go - GT motor - it's just missing the I, innit (and all the boring wiring 'n' stuff).
Haterz, eh?
