    As the title. How easy would it be to fit twin carburettors to my mk3 16v??? Is there anyone on here that has done this before?? If it is pheasable what kind of power gains can i expect?? If i run carbs would this make the use of a high lift shrick cam more promising as i could tweak the fuel etc.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, cheers!!

    What are you going to do about emissons come MOT time.
    More feasable on an older pre cat car as the CO limits are higher like 3.5% vs 0.2% with cat.
    Big cams and carbs will not help this aspect on your newer car.
    ITBs and an adjustable EMS will help for this

    So im going to be a lot better off with throttle bodys and a new ecu etc?? Can you or anyone recommend a place to get a good setup from?? As for emissions on the car, id just change it all back come MOT time, wouldnt be a massive problem. Is it worth all this expense? or would the performance gains be poor, thanks!
