There are oodles of options - your best bet is to give one of the VW shops on the forum a call and talk through what you expect from the new setup and
how much you can afford to pay.

That or watch swap meets etc and see what's out there.
I'd avoid single carb setups though as you can get problems in cool weather with the long inlets.
If your handy find a good set of kadrons, webbers or del's and get some manifolds made. Twin throat carbs will probably give you better performance
also.

Check this out:

Unfortunately, as with most things in life, you gets what you pay for! Be prepared for >$1000 for new twin dual throat webers. Nice, but pricey.
