I got the seal replaced today and it running good. It took an hour or so, simply to figure out what i was doing. I drove it around for 30 mins or so and it did fine. There was a chunck out of the old gasket. I will try to post the pics later.

Ya, thanks for that. Andrew has been very helpful through the hole thing. I'm not trying to say that his work is shoddy, quite the contrary. He has been great to deal with and had good turn around time. So thanks again.

i cleaned the metal piece, not rubber stuff. I checked the fuel return and it wasn't clogged. I have a steady small stream shooting out of it. The vw place in bloomington said they would do it for $100 so it might be worth it to pay for it.

It shouldn't be. I soaked it in carb cleaner then blew it out, then cleaned it again along w/ the fuel inlet one. but i will check to be sure. I made sure to clean everything 2 times or so before i put it on simply b/c I have heard that any little dirt could cause problems.

Any good tips for taking off the top half of the IP?

I will probably replace the gasket myself but i wondered if there were any good tips in taking ...
