Turbo CPS?

My LPT is still running the NA dizzy, and the ability to adjust timing would be kinda nice.
Can i just splice some wires, install the turbo distributor and be good to go?
The car still runs its EZK system, and the boost is kept around 5-6 PSI. with the 4 speed primary drive it is a rocket (to 30 MPH or so)

No....

You can hook a timing light to an EZK system, twist the dizzy and watch as the timing does not change! Need the hall effect sensor on the Dizzy to adjust timing:)

The only winning move is not to play.

Should be able to install a complete turbo dist. with vacuum advance and wire it up to the wiring from the cps. With the hall sensor you won't need the cps any more.

Its both......

The sequential FI is kinda nice... i suppose it saves me fuel, and makes the car run smoother...... but the fuel saving doesnt start until i get a speed signal, which I have neglected to do so far.

Incredibly dirty, But i wired up the obd2 port so i can talk to T5 via Tech 2, and It throws a CEL for a bad O2 sensor, however if you notice in the pic, the signal wire for the 02 sensor is broken:( theres a little bit of performance lost!

Next is... Interior, Tires, 9k Front brakes, Downpipe, 9k FMIC, and Battery Relocation:) And SPG springs!

I have decided to go to 15s for weight savings, and with the 205/50/15 tires, I think it will look mean.
