cheers
There are three types of people in this world - people who can count and people who can't....
for a 1600 tp i would go for a set of cadrons with an exhaust upgrade to extractors not sure of hp gain but it go go better and as for fuel usage should not be excessive it will depend on your driving flatout a lot of fuel safe good fuel
good luck

i am thinking of a centre mount, single or double barrell 36-40mm progressive carb... i am plannig to do some mild offraoding... hows this for an option?? am i on the right track?? and how much would i be looking at for a carbie of this calibur??? and does anyone have a ballpark figure on horsepower gain for this carbie??

i sold my last complete one for 350, that was ready to fit
5-10% gain in power..............remember a 1600 isn't pumping out big HP !! With the Kadrons you will feel a lot more torque, so it will feel like it has added a lot more HP... Just make sure you upgrade the exhaust as well.
i have been looking at exausts to upgrade and have found a few decent ones but what is the difference between headers and extractors and which is better??

yeh its a baja super in the making... see how it goes....
so extractors and headers are the same thing??
some fella has a pair of 32/36 webers for 100 bux, no manifolds are they worth it??

I had a thought, I could be dreaming, but what about a drawthrough turbo setup. Probably cost about the same cash as a kadrons, manifolds and linkage and would make for a bigger torque/power increase. You'd have to be careful about overboosting it, but premium unleaded would help.

What do you think stanley?
great idea...there is precedence somewhere for that...🤪
Also just realised i replied to the wrong post. Thats what happens when you're trying to hide your internet use at work.
i havn't even got my licence yet so a turbo is off the cards (stupid P plate laws)...
does anyone know the specific manifolds i need and pricing?
and are the webers worth it???

Yes, you use the stock end manifolds and the centre mount manifold then goes straight into them. BTW, a word of warning, the EMPI brand has had negative things said about the quality of the it's weber reproductions. If you can, I think you might find a rebuilt italian or spanish 2nd handie might be better than a brand new chinese EMPI. I may be wrong on this, but everything I'm hearing from experienced carb users in the states says EMPI stuff is not great. This is added to the colourful reputation the progressive has on VWs. I've personally heard great things about the use of weber progressives on subarus, old peugeots and escorts, so I can't see why VWs engines would be any different, but there you go.
Your other alternative is to try and find a set of cheap 36idfs like I did. They were on Alfa 33s. These are great little carbs and would be well suited for an offroad 1600.
