Mk1 16v Owners...



Yo Ben,

I mounted both computers and the other "thingy" in the rain tray. Well,
mounted isn't the right word for it...they are all just sitting there on the
driver's side. I snagged a cover from a Jetta to keep them out of the rain.
Only problem I had in the 10+ years that I've run them like that is once the
wiper arm got tangled in the wiring. No big whoop.

I have my charcoal canister line hooked up to the intake boot.
