Also, from appearances, the Rotec is pretty much a direct Ellison clone....

Of course, Ellison also calls their EFS system (including the 'vw-sized' 
EFS-2) a 'throttle body injector', too - as do all of the POSA-knockoff 
MFGs....

IIRC, the closest thing to a *REAL* throttle-body injector, is the 
Bendix PS-series of 'pressure carburetor' (from which the mechanical 
multipoint fuel injection system found on certificated engines was 
derived) - of which there isn't really a size suited to engines as small 
as the VWs....

Personally, I've managed to obtain an EFS-2, and that's what I'll be 
using to replace the SuperCarb/POSA that came with my plane.
