As the title asks, what is the difference between these two types of webbers (IDF & IDA). Is one more suited towards the street or track ?????

Thanks, Kevin
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

Thank God they are IDF's (48mm), Yeah !

Although I have a pair of 40mm DRLA Dellortos, what do you think would be better and why. Engine is a 2180.

Nothing wrong with IDA's on the street if they are set up right, in fact I like them better than IDF's, easier to tune, all jets are accessable from the top, and they don't block idle jets like the IDF's do.......... and they look way cooler 👍

matter of opinion I guess but 4 me
DCN's are next to useless
I prefer the IDA's, of course they do have idle circuits
just not as many progression ports but thats easy fixed

as u say matter of opinion
i swear by DCN /DCNF, ive run them on plenty of engines in single and twins i find them alot more user freindly and easier to setup than IDFs
my only complaint is the small fuel bowls
