it would honestly be pretty easy in your vanagon because you already have
all the sensors needed to make it complete. a project such as hershey or
murray would be more difficult because you would have to find all the
sensors needed and injectors to top that off. not to mention a bigger fuel
pump to hold the preassure better. and a return line on your fuel rail so
that means on the old ones you would probably have to tap your gas tank for
a return line.
i have been doing lots of research here lately. but not thinking about the
bus as much as i am thinking about that future 5.0 for the ranger.

I would love to do that to the vanagon, I just don't know that much about computers to even know where to start.
