All factory q-jets are application specific. It's hit and miss when you purchase one and try to use it outside of the original application. Same thing with making extensive engine/drivetrain modifications, then trying to use the factory carb. It's the biggest single reason why q-jets get a bad rap. In reality, when correctly calibrated they are fantastic street/strip carburetors.

Those carb are on E-rape AND good deals for a reason......Cliff
