Re: '84 GTI Donor Eng was '83 - '84 diff.

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

I got an  84 engine with shrouded injectors too, and attempted to hook it
up. I KNOOW there are different injector buckets and i got the air shrouded
ones, they are a lot longer, but are you sure the injectors on the 84 are
different?/? i dont think they are.  i just took a short line from right
after the throttle body and attached it to the plastic nipple (uh huh huh)
thinking there might be enough pressure difference from right at the intake
valves to the throttle body to pull air through the hose, but now i'm
thinking its not working. 
the other option is to hook it up to a source between the t-body and the
airflow meter, but then you get an unregulated airflow that will raise your
idle very high probably.
	I think it was hooked into the idle stabilizer system on the GTi, but my
rocco doesn't have a vacuum idle stbilizer, mines the electronic one.
*except for the one on the back of the manifold, but that doesn't count. :)
