So it WAS a Mars Red GTI and now it's a Silver GTI. Meh... I had a car EXACTLY like that.

I'm not sure. I'll have to take a look.

unless you plan on keeping CIS get a DIGI II car, makes a VR swap much easier

Turbo 240s still used CIS, and it seems to be the accepted upgrade on turbo CIS cars. LH-Jetronic for turbo motors was turbo 740 stuff and isn't really worth switching to. N/A 240s in the early 80s started coming with LH-Jet, which is better than CIS, but still not boost worthy.

I know a few of the VW guys switch on the cold start valve via a Hobbs switch, too. Might want to shim the distributor as well.
Yea thats what I thought... I am going to be using a Volvo240 turbo fuel distro (same unit as Audi, made by Bosch) along with a few other misc. pieces.. Not expecting to hit over 200 whp. Boosting with the cold start valve seems kinda iffy to me... any idea on the reliabilty of this (im off the vwvortex to check anyways...)
