Yeah, i have one in my '84 and it is ok... But only OK.

It's nice that they give you everything you need, but there is nothing super special to the kit. Also, the pressure sender trips the idiot light at a higher pressure than stock, from what i hear, so you'll get false red lights (but you'll have the guage to back it up).

Basically, their setup goes: case-hose-elbow-dual sender. I'm going to redo mine to go: case-hose-tee-vdo sender/VW sender.

And if you'll notice, single vdo senders are less expensive than dual units.

Good luck, -Damon
