    Attn all VW users

    Hi all, Now that I have your attention (LOL) may I ask all you VW flyers out there who are using a VW conversion with either exhaust stubs or the 4-into1 exhaust (KR style system as marketed by Great Plains and Revmaster) if you are getting black sooty residue in the inlet ports? Cheers, HH

Maybe one way of...

    Type 4 VW heads

    Purely out of interest, has anyone ever tried converting a Type 4 VW head to dual plug? I am not looking at the merits between a Type 1 and 4 head, I simply would like to know if anyone has done it before? If so, where was the 2nd plug fitted? HH :ban:
