Ken's 1984 VW Jetta GLi 1.8L 8v
Vehicle: 1984 VW Jetta GLi
Engine: 1.8L, 8v I4, G-Grind Cam, 3†Intake, 2†Exhaust, SpinTech Muffler.
Injection: Port Injection (19lb injectors) borrowed from a stock VW Digifant system (bolt on)
Description: Car will eventually have a turbo system (DIY of course!!) added and MS will fuel it with upgraded (37lb) injectors.
Website: I’ll get some pics up as soon as I can clean up my mess!!
Just a note to all that helped me solve all the little issues I had and allowed me to start up and run from the very first crank! A special thanks to my brother Bruce, without his hands, eyes, ears (good catch) and garage this project would still be on my desk!

An update!
Never one to leave it alone, and tired of failures in the DB-37 I found a very suitable replacement!!! Those pins are rated at 13A each!!!!
I put everything on one side so that I can stuff the box in a hole and not have to worry about getting at both sides! All the LED's are on the inside... If I really needed to look at them, I have bigger issues and I'll open the case!!!
Yeah, I know... I've got a fitting planned for the vacuum line... till then...
Regards,
Ken

Decided that I didn't want a box too big for one hand, so I split the boards into 2 cases and wired accordingly...
I ran a DB-25 so that I can run display, switches and power for the EL Backlight! I can either toss it in the glovebox or unplug it. So now for the most part I can leave the laptop at home!! HuuRah!!!
As an after effect I found it also fits in my GPS holder too!! Putting it all in easy view and reach even if I have a passenger!
Now I have to work on the Turbo!!!
