lets put it this way jason,  if it is an 16v engine, I doubt a great deal
that an 8v k-tronics box would work with it...possible but doubtfull

Well that's the thing. It's an 85 with a 16v swapped into it. Since I didn't
have a garage, or ANYWHERE to do the swap myself, I had a local VW shop do
it. I just want to be sure it's a 16v box. Is the rev limiter in the box or
somewhere else. Cause mine jumps in at 7200 or so (still running the 8v
tach, so I'm not exactly sure).

I don't think anyone would swap an 8v box into a 16v...It would just be
stupid. They would have to swap the entire wire harness (it's a
different plug). The box should have numbers on it. Get the
numbers...Then you have a better shot at identifying it.

Well yeah... I haven't gotten around to checking it out yet, but I still
want to verify my box, as I am getting more and more reason to believe
it's
still the 8v one!

If your cold start injector isn't working check the obvious first (and I
am
not trying to be facetious here)

1) make sure it is plugged in (the blue plug)
2) make sure the wires are not corroded, cut, broken
3) check the thermo time switch.  If this is toast, then your cold start
injector won't get ground, and therefor won't work.

Here's another "black box" question. What does the 16v box say on it?
I'm
not sure which box is in mine now that I think about it. I've got a
problem
with my 5th injector (not working), and I'm now wondering if maybe it's
the
box? Is there a way to tell the difference between an 85 8v box and 88
16v?

Well, of course there is, but what is it?

Thanks.
