Drag racing times - parts/work to modify

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Yes, the digifant Fox TB has a built in TPS that works perfectly with 034efi, and it bolt right up to the 4kq intake.

Granted, there are different installations out there, you just can't "bolt on this
RS2 part and that RS2 thingy", you also don't pay $3k for a bunch of parts that are "RS2".  Like Jim says, check your options, what you'd like to do with the car and go from there, having more options is better than having less, right?
