I'm thanking, I will not be able to sleep tell it is running. so ya maybe 24 hours after it hits the house, it will be running. to be honest it should slide right in where the 2.0 was. wire and plum it and go. ya right. Went with race fuel 110 over E85. on 10 psi of boost John says race fuel. 6 psi I can run pump gas. it would be the difference of 280 hp pump gas or 340 race fuel. I was very happy with the old Vw hp. I may try pump gas at first. then If needed, say like a trip to saint Anthony's turn it up to the 340 when it is really needed.
