I have done it as well. I used Earl's lines, AN fittings, changed the fuel pressure reg to an adjustable one from a 914 that accepts AN fittings and changed the fuel rails to billet with pressure gauges built in to monitor the pressure at each rail and at the reg. Very nice setup and looks very cool. Cost $500+ from start to finish. I can send links to the shop in NY where I bought most of the 914 stuff if anyone is interested. dylan Dennis Haynes <d23haynes57@HOTMAIL.COM> wrote: Yes, I've done it. Biggest problem is a satisfactory clamping solution to the existing parts. VW actually shows 2 different fuel lines depending on location used. N-903-397-02 is used in the engine compartment. 020-281-1 is used outside and underneath. The newer hose is very heavy duty stuff and properly installed will last for many many years. Dennis
