I'm sure I will draw some abuse for saying this... I am an admitted rookie here. I like the idea of a more simple fuel delivery system.

Does anybody know if the EFI system eliminates the accumulator and fuel filter? Does this conversion require a new air system? If so, any recommended products?

Thanks again for your input... positive and negative.
That was my impression the first time I got a chance to look at the CIS in depth. The Bitz kit looks like a great way to EFI without having to reinvent the wheel and do a lot of changes to your engine. OTOH, EFI conversion opens an enormous door for changes including electronic distributor-less ignition and future performance enhancements. There can be a significant time investment in getting your tuning correct for which a wide-band O2 exhaust sensor is a necessity.
I am running my EFI without an accumulator but with a stock fuel filter (Carrera 3.2 setup).
