those golfs are mad :)

i've got a photo of a Mk1 golf when i was in germany - this thing was radioactive green, about 50mm off the ground with 13x9s under it with about 3in flares all round.

it was phat, it was mean, and had audi turbo power. i was weak at the knees.

B110/B210 runners are exceptionally high, when i fitted P710 seats to my B110 with P710 rails the seat height came down about 2in!

my advice is take a seat out, and sit one of the N13 pulsar seats in there and see what needs moving.

you may even find the N13 seats come close to bolting straight to the B210 runners, in which case make some extensions out of 6mm bar and re-situtate your seat back a few inches.

dont forget to triangulate the mounts though, or you'll have a swivel bar stool for a driver's seat!

to save this becoming a "blow thru versus draw thru" argument again - my advice is to follow phunk's advice.

read up on people's experiences and decide for yourself which you feel is better.

not if you box the whole carby.

if you're not running a carb retun line then yeah! it will be flooding.

an EFI pump pushes about 3bar of fuel pressure, whereas a mechanical pump or an electric h-h-h-holley pump or the like will only push about 0.5bar.

the carby can easily hold back 0.5bar with the piston inside, but 3bar it will just force its way thru.

either run a bundy return line to the pot or change the pump to a h-h-holley or a carter or pierburg or whatever.

i picked up a 7psi carter pump (72gal/hr) for $80 brand new.

i'm on between jobs at work only - 1200.com just takes too long on dial up at home.

so yeah - that's a semi regular i guess.

hehehehe i remember being a n00b and asking this question too...

seems like you've created a voodoo remedy or something now...

if you port the head yourself, remember size isn't everything.

i've been looking at L heads in section and the short turn (the lowest part of the port just before the valve) could do with a review.

that said, raising the roof of the port (ala porting VN V8 heads) and puttying up the bottom of the port to reduce the "turn" should see substantial gains in torque throughout the whole powerband.

the short turn isn't as bad as, say, an E15, but it could do with some work.

but that's just my opinion.

or just low mount your turbo and make it easier on yourself...
