Re: shrouded in air

[steveb@falcon.kla.com (Steven Buchholz)]

WRT air shrouded injectors:
I'm pretty sure that the o-rings ensure that the air gets to mix with the 
fuel better.  It is my understanding that this is the main benefit of the 
shrouded injectors in the first place, i.e. better mixing of the fuel with air.
If you are not using the 200's injectors you might want to think about blocking the air passage that feeds the shrouds as well.  At least think about trying
it either way ... it may not hurt anything allowing the "shroud" air in, but 
since you don't have the proper injectors you may get a different airflow 
pattern, which might affect the way the engine runs. 

It wasn't clear in your post whether or not you tried mounting the '89 FD
on the '83 airbox.  If you did and it didn't work, what was the problem?
I guess I could pop a couple of hoods this evening and find out for myself
(at least '83 urQ against '88 5kTQW).  

Thanks for the very informative posts Dave!

... I certainly wish him the best!  Keep it up Steve!  Let us know when you
need the rain dance ;-)  It'd be great to see a bunch of Audi 4000Q posts on
the auto-x mail list!
