Yes mate, that set up should be fine. Best to stick it on the dyno though to be 100% as you may have other probs with fuelling you may not be aware of. eg fuel pump on it's way out. Have you still got the Beetle? ps don't boot it until after 3.5k to save your rods.

Is your car manual or auto, be a bit more carefull if its an auto due to the way the box can change gear (WOT gearchanges, full boost kickdown).
