I've got an old mech head engine out of my golf and a full K03 setup knocking about, so been thinking about bolting the turbo setup to the golf lump.
obviously the mech headed engines came with condensor/points based distributors, these can be upgraded to a distributor with a hall sender (from a SEAT) and the late mk2 ignition setup (that used for bike carb conversions) can be used to convert the early engines to electronic ignition.
I know that the GT/G40 and AB coded dizzys have a different trigger wheel spacing to that of the other polo distributors.
I know its possible to swap dizzy trigger wheels (ive seen it done of golf distributors), my question is
a) has anyone done this before
b) in order for G40 ecu not to get the hump, is it wiser to swap the trigger wheel for that from a G40 dizzy, or should I retain the associated trigger wheel which matches my engine.
thoughts on a postcard please - im not too fussed if the engine dies, it was due to go to the scrapyard anyway and im not short of cars to stick it in
