Oh, my, I just love this car.
Had to re-read the entire thread again.
That's like the fifth time now...

Every time something else grabs my attention.

-Like the fuel lines.
Looks like you started with hard lines in the tunnel then switched to braided?
Is there a particular reason it ended up like that?
Say, a problem? or maybe mock-up?

I'm trying to figure out plumbing my car, and wonder if you had any wisdom to impart...

Thanks for your input mrzed

Clatter - thanks . I went through three ideas for the fuel lines including stainless and copper lines but settled for hose just for ease. Not had any problems and done over 5,000 miles

Probably not a suprise but i did not get a chance to work on my beetle over Christmas - but instead put all of my time into my bay project. I will start a thread in a bit.

Been a while since I updated this.....

Well it's been good, bad and ugly!

Bad.......I had a lot of smoke coming from the breather system. Turned out rings and barrels were shot but rob managed to save the JE pistons!

Good......I managed to install my efi kit!













The ugly......I ripped off my cooler 200 miles from home








Still tinkering getting things better and I've also started making my shopping list for turbo conversion this winter!

So.....any recommendations on turbos? I've been offered a Chinese t3/4 but not heard great things about the longevity if them
