You can bend the throttle arm down like the OE Vanagon pump, but the arm will still be shorter. It works fine this way. Clearance with the engine cover isn't much of an issue since the boost enrichment aneroid sticks up much higher than the throttle arm after you bend it. You will have to fabricate or modify a throttle cable bracket to match. Turning the stock TD bracket upside down and drilling new holes works reasonably well. Pay close attention to the throttle cable adjustment. You don't want to put any tension on the cable at full throttle. It adjusts at the pedal end.
