A weber will go pretty much straight on....but I only fitted poopy low-spec webers. Don't know if bigguns (40's?) wiil need some fettling..... |

I'm assuming that the Pierburg is a downdraught carb, in which case there should be plenty of suitable Weber replacements. I don't really know Audi/VW bits very well but I'd thing something like a Weber DGAV would be better. Twin 40 Webers would be excellent, but you'd have to ditch the manifold for an aftermarket one or fab your own as DCOEs are sidedraught. Thinking about it, is the lump in your Audi the same as in the Golf? If so there should be adapter plates available to fit a Weber on  |

The DGAV was what I slapped on a 318 recently. Didn't mak ea vast difference but at least I knew it was more "fixable". I thought there would be need for adaption for 40's but wasn't sure! |

GSF used to do a Weber conversion kit (although that was a few years ago!)

I think there's a Weber 32/36 DGAV knocking around my garage but I can't remember if we sold it (it's my brothers really). I also have a Weber 34DATR twin choke downdraught carb. Might have others... SU's of various incarnations... can't remember off hand! My prices are very reasonable too!  |

i'm not after super speed. I've got my bug for that I'm intrigued  - need to see some pictures (noticed theres some little ones flashing around on your Avatar thingy) As Rainking said German Sweedish & French or similar should do a Weber replacement carb, with all the bits - these seem to be normally around the £200 mark  I've got a twin choke Weber from a Mexico Escort I got cheap which i'm trying to bodge onto my existing manifold at the moment - you could try doing something similar |

Funkypunk89 - that looks 'rock-hard'  As a Big Bang and Bug Jam regular, and having a couple mates who are also building/built quick bugs, I have quite a thing for them! |

Webers sound like a good option although I'm no expert. That Golf does look mental by the way! |
