GoWesty Fuel Injection Component Replacement Kit (GW-EFI)
For many years now, the "Achilles' heel" of the 1983-91 Vanagon has been the antiquated and usually-problematic Bosch engine management system. Even when it was brand new, it was far from perfect. Fast forward over thirty years, and one finds as that every wire, connection, and component has the potential to bring your perfectly planned road trip to a screeching halt. Volkswagen themselves knew the system had genuine flaws, as did every Vanagon owner, repair shop, and parts retailer. For over a decade, we explored fixes, patches, upgrades, and improvements. We were convinced we could get it to work reliably, but we were wrong. Short of Volkswagen releasing brand-new parts to completely replace the entire system, the original Bosch management system was going the way of the Dodo.The writing was on the wall: The system had to be replaced with something smarter and more reliable. But what would this be, and who would invent such a thing? Who else? GoWesty! We rolled up our sleeves back around 2012 and got to work! After thousands of test hours, tens of thousands of test miles, and an unbelievable amount of effort, we were finally able to release this system in January 2018!
