alright... ive got my nomex suit on, ready for the flames...
I want to see an A4 jetta/golf or new beetle that has been converted to mechanical injection.
I searched high and low but found no examples of this being done and i was hoping that someone could point me to a thread or build if it has indeed been done.
YES i am aware that there are very few good reasons to do this, VNT's are more responsive, the ECU will get all pissy, ALH's are great as they are... ETC ETC ETC... That is not the point. I was recently dragged kicking and screaming from my comfort zone of PRE-1999 TDI's because my B4 was just to far gone to be worth fixing anymore.
I am not particularly familiar with A4's other than the ALH TDI but i think i remember that the early MK4 gassers had drive by cable setups VS drive by wire which would mean there are OE parts i could use for pedal assemblies and throttle cables. would this be a viable option for the throttle cable?
