To supercharge a 3A or not?

[nocones77-vw at yahoo.com (nocones77-vw@yahoo.com)]

1) Nothing, as far as I know. Peter Tong is the guy to ask, since he has one.

2) The PG dizzy is fixed, with no vaccuum advance, etc. Except for the base timing setting, all advance is ECU-controlled. If the 3A isn't like that, get a PG one (presuming it fits...I don't know about that).

3) I use the standard 3-layer metal headgasket from the ABA. If that works on a 3A, go for it.

Thanks Mark, Dan and Neal.

I forgot a few points that I took as a given, but
realize I should not have done so.

-----------------------

1) I *will* be upgrading to JE pistons to lower the CR
issue

2) Intercooling will be done via PWR liquid-to-air
system

-----------------------

Questions:

1) What really needs to be done with the Eurospec JH
head to run higher boost?  Basically the G60 head
upgrade (valves, etc)?  Obviously I want it rebuilt,
but what should be done for supercharging?

2) Peter Tong mentioned that I should verify that the
3A dizzy works w/ Digi1.  Anyone have a clue?

3) Going the alternate piston route, I am not sure
what headgasket would be appropriate for a F/I
situation.  Is the stock sufficient or is there an
upgrade for a 3A.


The 3A - a red-headed stepchild for F/I indeed.
