Whats EFI got to do with blowing head gaskets?
Fuck all.
Blowing head gaskets is due to the car not being tuned right, makes no difference if its carb or injection.
Personally on a GTT id stick with a carb, the money and trouble to go to EFI makes it not worth it, just use somebody that actually has a clue how to tune carbs.
the fact that on the standard carb its extremely difficult to get it to fuel well on high boost and pass a basic emissions test. He was running over 20psi of boost........................
Calm down dear!
And if you source the 1.7 volvo engine with loom it drops straight in as its the same basic construction as the 1.7 GTX lump, with the added benefits of being OHC crossflowetc etc not a primitive pushrod engine......
