The original question was whether efi was worth the money for more drivability and more performance. If you are the kind of person that needs to turn on a motor as opposed to start it ,then maybe it will be more drivable .If you are looking for more performance ,look elsewhere first ...Exhaust, heads ,cam . I'm all about injected motors .But to spend the money to convert a good running carb motor doesn't make sense ,to me. Unless you"ve just got money to burn.

You make blanket statements that are plain false. It's guys like yourself that "scare" guys away from EFI in ay form. My engine will be tuned with 8 EGT's, so yes mr condescending, I do "realize" what that's all about. How many guys use Dominator carbs? I would bet no even half of the Performace marine crowd does. Actually DP Holleys win that hands down. A dominator will not deliver fuel more evenly/precisely than MPFI. Thanks for the good chuckle though....
The OP doesn't need your scare tactics. He's already in touch with the right people who actually know about EFI. |

Obviously you really don't know as much as you think you know. 8 injectors do not precisely meter fuel to the cylinders ever hear of the very delicate word we have called REVERSION? Ever take notice to how efi intakes are designed? But I'm glad I could make you laugh cause anyone that knows what they are doing reads what you wrote is gonna laugh. I'm not trying to scare anyone away from efi. I've had a blown efi motor in one of my boats. And it works great when it works but for the money a carb is really hard to beat and a hell of alot more reliable even though it was invented during WWII. |

What does dry headers have to do with reversion and fuel distribution in the intake? And by the way what year Passat do you have?

If looking to swap EFI, I have a pair of Cutler kits complete, including intakes and fuel pumps. One is absolutely perfect with no issues, the other has a bad ECM. The ECM is not giving the signal to the relay to turn on the fuel pump and could be rewired to work. I also know that Bob Lloyd at Full throttle Performance has a good ECM. Looking for any reasonable offer.

Worth it or not, that the question.
Its depend the situation, thinking.. Here is my setup. 2x509, 815hp/side, dual carb setup, tbs8-71, msd with limiters wide area lambdas. Everything works, starts well, not dying when put the gear, a/f ratios in place. How much is to swap to efi, whole setup for both engines ? |

So let me get this straight, you are claiming ever single EFI intake suffers from reversion? I find this very hard to believe. I'm running dry headers which are a true 32 inch design which adds scavenging effect to to the mix. You are way out in left field right now making this claim. With all of the different designs this is another blanket statement. My passat is a 2012. Same model as what is currently still sold in 14.
