Now I have another question, should I use a system from a VW that has lambda control or not? If so, could someone give me some schematics to go by for wiring. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Jul 1999 17:35:37 -0400 From: "C. Brooks" Subject: EFI comparison I scanned in the table, and I still need to straighten out the columns and some of the garbled portions. As soon as I'm done I'll post it to the FTP site. I didn't scan the rest of the article. It was a 10 page article and read more like an advertisement for all parties involved. I think the table is a more neutral comparison.

I am interested in building the Fuel Flow Bench listed under completed projects. I would like to communicate with anyone who has built one. Thanks in advance.
