    hi again right as said before the engine that is going in is an 1.8 head with cam on a 2.0L bottom end on carbs.
    the car now is a 1.6 jetta tx 1989.
    do i need to change the fuel pump and fit a king filter?
    or do i just put the carbs on conect it up to my existing fuel line ect.. and away i go?

    You'll need a Facet cylindrical fuel pump (the model will depend on your final required power output) and a Filter king regulator. The regulator is then set to 3/3-1/2 psi to get you up and running.

    No probs at all.

    You can save a little cash by using a "Pro fuel" regulator and seperate in-line filter, but the Filter king is the nicer option if funds permit.

    Take a look here.. http://www.fuelsystem.co.uk/.. very good to deal with.
