Thats a lovely bay me ol china . i dont think youll need to change the ignition though cos its still gonna use the dizzy and ignition module , i cant say for sure cos i have never run carbs on my mk1 .

Can't see how it would be much different, so long as you can take a vacuum off the carb's manifold, then you can just use the same system, since the fuel injection on a GTI is mechanical and doesn't inter-operate with the ignition, unlike more modern systems.

when i ran bike carbs on my polo gt engine i was running elcetronic ignition and a electric fuel pump with a malpossi fuel regualter, from memory i think u have to run them carbs at roughly 3psi,

twin 40s
we are running twin 40 dellortos on our mk1 rallycar problems were I used a Pierce manifold which was impossible to fit until Ifiled out the holes so socket head cap screws could be fitted problem 2 no room for air cleaners so I used an alfa air box which was cut down and a sectioned 80 tube welded in it and a pod filter it is running 30mm chokes 180 mains 210 correctors and 60 idles if I remember correctly it is a rocket ship in acceloration but very tractable as well if you want some pics email me Trevor
