i currently have a "street" bridge, half bridge or bridged secondaries only. i use a dellorto sidedraft 48 DHLA. i had to tap and redrill the holes in the T2 lower manifold to be able to fit the racing beat upper manifold for the carb. this carb with its jetting(which i have no idea what it is) seems to be adecuate. however its not tune, so it runs a tad rich.

as far a VW carbs, u can use them, but the jetting will need to be changed. the only difference is that racing beat did some internal modifications of their own to the carbs. i have no idea what they were.

aas far as the apex seals. from my understanding, if u only do the secondaries a 2 piece is fine, just remember to put the small piece of the apex seal on the primary side. if u are going full bridge then u need 1 piece apex seals. u dont want that small corner falling into the engine.
