1972 Beetle Restoration

I really want to do a ragtop like that on my 96V4. Lookin' great.

At this time I only want to replace the cold-start functionality of the IAC. But I'm really just guessing as to whether it'll work. The stinger ecu and tune that I'm using are designed for sand rails. As I understand it the owners of these generally warm the engines up before playing so cold-start isn't important to them. We'll see if it helps...

I got you... If you add a fifth injector to the intake manifold and run it off of a momentary switch, you should be all set for cold start paired with the warm-up valve you showed. When you start cranking the engine, press and hold the button until the engine catches and then release. Connecting to the fuel rail is the only hard part.

This is a fantastic build. Really nicely-executed so far.

Amazing.

The paint came out great, actually the whole car looks great.

Thanks for closing the loop. Whats next?

I am compelled to chime in, and say that this is a beautiful Bug. All the awesome 90's Hot VWs vibe, backed by modern fuel injected punch. You made it look easy. Highly inspirational.
