So went to the wreckers in Austin today, not the VW place but a all manufactures to get some of the parts to put together a Megasquirt 2 v3 system to drive fuel and spark. I found a trigger wheel and hall sensor from a ford ranger 4 cyl, and a Bosch oxy sensor was laying on the ground so grabbed that with a section of exhaust that had a bung on it. I have several throttle bodies but I've come to the conclusion to do individual TB from a motorcycle but use the standard manifolds and injector locations.

I guess I should have stuck in a few smiley faces in there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

The more direct shot at the valve I'll say I've never noticed much of a difference, at least not at this level of tune. My version the injector is only about an inch higher.
Some people get stuck on the little details like this, bogging down the project. I admit I have been guilty of this many times.

As to your skill level, that's great, but your PM it was easy to tell you had done little of this research. The parts you are showing again tells me you you need to do more homework.
We've seen this before peeps think it no harder than slapping a set of carbs on, the reality is it's much harder.

The need for research time part I keep harping upon, I doubt if you'll find a single DIY EFI guy here that will disagree with this POV.
I'd say 99.6% of all EFI failures or abandonment is due to peeps who didn't take the time to research and learn how to build and tune the system.

No harm done maybe I was too focused on the avitar... I agree that the research needs to be done. In my defence all the links that you sent, and I did open them all, did not provide much detail on the applications of what fits an why it fits. You mentioned the trigger wheel wouldn't work can I ask why it won't work? Is it a ofset issue? Diameter? I want to understand as this was the trigger wheel other people used. I haven't ran the part number for the O2 sensor but aren't all 4 wire o2 sensors wideband? Again please help me understand L do want to know. I guess at this point I can state what I'm trying to end up with is a system that will work for a engine that has a 66mm crank stock injectors cam 1.8 cyl and 1.7 heads and valves I also am building a 1911 engine with 96mm cyl early web cam ,,1.7 heads mild exhaust porting oversized valves 48 in and 38 exh in the end I want a stout Street Autocross engine with more midrange torque than rpm. So if you can guide me where to research to gain those goals please guide away. Oh and I need to do it all for 800 bucks. Lol
