Yeah I have the engine wiring harness from the Scirocco 16v that john
brought me.

True, but I LIKE CIS.  It is dead simple and dead reliable, I hate
introducing any more electronics than I have to (I know and understand
electronics just fine, its not a fear of it at all, it just breaks, thats
all there is too it)

Well I could certainly add to the tech proceedure with pics...let me know
what you want me to take pictures of as I do it!

> Plus, you already have the CIS-E stuff; do you have the Euro?

Yes, I have the CIS-E....but it's not pretty....weather and time has taken
it's toll on the components John sent me (we don't see throttle bodies all
rusty and ugly like this around here....).  I wouldn't mind putting in
new....yet at the same time, the only component that worries me is the
fuel distributor...(I have 4 brand new CIS-E injectors waiting to go
too)..

I just thought that the euro FI would be neat...it would work act and look
just like the CIS I took out...and NO NEW WIRING!  I kinda like that
idea....still pondering it...

I am just sooooooo damn used to CIS, I know it and love it (despite its
limitations) it has never let me down (once it came close, computer got
full of water from a pressure wash, I just shook it out and the problem
went away (this was on my way to ND a last year with the yellow rocco))

Plus, I have the euro manifold and the euro cam, why the hell not use the
euro injection....sure seems to work well in the euro cars....
