First of all, It is completely beyond me as to why someone would want to go backwards in a sense of technology. Fuel injection is far superior and much more tuneable thru the entire rpm range. As far as boltability, I thought the GSL-SE had a 4 port motor. If that's the case, it won't work.

With the correct jets, hedder and open exhaust this setup makes for a very fun car. Its way cheaper then fixing the stock FI. Much worse on gas though. If you want NA power Carb is cheaper and simpler. If you have the money though, get an aftermarket FI system. There is one that looks like a weber downdraft that I heard alot of good things about.

I don't think the GSL-SE lower fits because the bolt holes in the gaskets are in different locations.

I was saying the stock EFI sux. I know there is good aftermarket standalone systems its just cheaper and easier to go with a carb and he already has one. Anyways the jets Im using are for a s4 which has lower compression then your engine are
Accel pump 90
pilot(idle) jets 62.5
Main Fuel Jets 190
Main Air jets 240
This is for stock or mildly ported engine with full race exhaust
PM me with any questions I can help you through the whole conversion
Also I reccomend the Jacobs FC1000 ignition its cheap and made a HUGE difference in low end.

Enough with the with the carb. vs EFI people. We've rehashed this 10,000 times and the result is always the same. Face facts that all things being equal, EFI will always make more power then carburetors. It's proven time and time again.
