Replacing original fuel pump with a CIS version as this system works with higher pressure instead low pressure injectors.
wire harness from donor car was , as you can guess fkd up --that why its called a fairy tale-- again dissapointment.
I kissed that dead chassis many times but it did not wake up
Preparing a new connector cable and we should be able to finish installation next weekend.
then only few steps away from testing pressures on the fuel system.
Next time I know for sure I am picking the correct time period donor and base instead of upgrading and downgrading complete cars.
How do you say that again???
I don't think I heard you right!!!
The Turbosystem and the donorcar are both 1980-1985 era with the mechanical high pressure injection called CIS.
My Cabriolet is a 1991 and already new type everything , like fuel rail with injectors etc etc.
So in ways I am actually downgrading my car to become time correct
Sometimes I wished I bought a complete programmable standalone system but I am going for the nostalgic looks and drive.
Do you hear me now

The reason for this trouble is probably because I included the carterventilation on top of the valve cover to the vacuum system en this is good with natural aspirated engines but when you put pressure on the ventilation the oil return gets clogged and therefore pushed out at turbo inlet and in my case I think also crankcase seal through to the clutch.
When I start working on the clutch I can convince myself I am Mega stupid
Untill then I ignore my mistake
The non A/C intercooler is almost as rare as the 100+ intake so I needed to score anyhow

Meantime, lots happened again.
The engine has been out and back in twice.
Turbo was rebuild again due to an accident with exhaust gas temperature feeler ,
Turbo vanes do not like them aparently
Upgraded EMS to the digifant G60 and actualy driven the car this summer for about 1000 miles.
Next year , improvement of installment , polishing and detailing engine and parts
Pushing up Psi to the desired 15 as this is the end of the gauge
Then visit a dyno and register actual horsepower.
Then off to project 2 "The Callaway VW Golf GTI mk2"
