I get the parenting thing, but don't make any rash decisions. Just keep the bug around for weekend driving. Anyone who ever sold one always talks about how much they wish they had it back. Just sit on it for a while.
It's not just the kids but I've had enough of constantly fouled plugs it's doing my head in. If I drop down a size on the idles the engine will not tick over at all, if I stay with the same size idles and just increase the air hole to lean them out the engine will not idle. So 45F8' is the size my engine idles best with and drives/accelerates with. If I down size the mains I get detonation at a low psi boost level (6psi). Yes EFI is the way but do I really want to splash out £1,500 ($2,000) on this car?
Do all draw through turbo set ups foul plugs?
I don't think its possible to get the correct fueling using a carb on a draw through or blow through turbo. There's always going to be a point in the low/mid range that isn't correct. The top end fueling isn't that hard to do.
Hang on a minute. The bug has 5 seats but the Porsche only has 2. Bug seems like a better family car than the boxter. My kids love the bug and tell me never to sell it.
You can install FI and a better turbo system for around 2000 grand.....that's about two payments on that Porsche..

Well I couldn't do it, I couldn't sell the bug for the Porsche in the end
She is now all wrapped up for the winter and I'm going to try and fit some Audi TT seats up front.

Will those be a little too wide? I put seats from a Celica GT up front. One of the best mods I have done to date.
I hope not, I'm still mocking it all up at the moment if they are I will just put them on the bin.
On a different note can you lot post up what heat range plugs you are all using. I'm trying NGK 4 heat range plugs witch h should be a lot hotter then the stock 5's and 6's plugs to help while I set things up but they seems to be working great, I would if thought plugs this hot would of cause detonation ?
Was under the impression that turbo engines should be running cooler plugs than stock one something around a 8/9 heat range plug (NGK plugs)

So no porsche, that frees up some more funds for efi?

You had me worried about the seats so I had to go and check and yes they will fit. The stock seat base is 20" wide and so is the back rest and the Adui TT seats are the same size thank god.

Yes EFI is on the cards but I have to say I doubt it's going to happen for a year or two. I have to much other stuff to get done first.
Just curious what ignition coils are you lot running?
Mine is getting hot and dieing so needs changing but do I go for a stock one again or a mad blaster as coil?
Open to all opinions
it resides in SLC
