    Bosch 044 pump should take care of fuel delivery.

    Such a different feel to the 8v rod shift. Power delivery is soooo smooth and I get a few back fires out of the tail pipe every so often under deceleration.
    Still need to plug it into vag com to see for any faults and do a couple more test drives but overall pretty happy with the way it turned out so far.
