So little progress has been made, getting my TDI swapped Toyota back on the road as my daily then I can get into this.
Some discoveries have been made though.
It is currently running (fairly well) on MS1 V2.2, but from what I can see it is only running fuel and using the stock ecu to control spark. Not 100% sure on this, but all of the wiring going from the VR sensors and the dizzy seems to be untouched. I'll have a better idea once I get my serial port-->usb converter to look at the map(s) in megatune and once I pull the engine I'll be able to see exactly what they have done, it's a bit of a rats nest currently.

I also did a leakdown test as I would like to pinpoint the oil burn. Definitely leaking from the valve seals, but also appears to have a leaking headgasket as I am getting air out of cylinder 3 when testing cylinder 2.
Trying to work out a deal for a B4 90 with blown headgaskets so that I can swap over the braking system as well as the front clip. I have a creased fender so now would be the obvious time to switch the clip. I am also pretty sure that the brake bomb is leaking, so again obvious time to do the switch.

I am waiting on S4 hubs so that I can switch the brakes as well, the car came with 17's but they are very rashed and finding decent (aka not chinese crap) 17's was proving difficult.

Engine will be pulled shortly and evenings will be spent at the machinists. I am very lucky to have someone that is willing to pass on his knowledge and usually free of charge.
