This was actually the first year that VW had computers on their bugs. That's why my dad was having second thoughts, but my business partner had said this was the best deal we were going to get. On top of that, we got the car down to $3300USD compared to other people around here that had rust-buckets that wanted close to between $4500-5500 for their junk. We got really lucky

You had better check the emissions regs for your state before you make any engine modifications. That electronic module may be there for a reason. Switching to a carb might make you non-compliant for an emissions inspection and get you a ticket. They may even impound the car.
