  With D Jetronic being MPC (Manifold Pressure Control) it's actually 
dealing with negative pressure but could easily adapt to the positive 
pressure of boost.  You'd need a venturi for off boost times though.
Trigger points could pose an issue however there IS a place to put a 
gasser distributor.  You'd have to opt for the somewhat rare non-power 
brakes though and trigger points aren't cheap.  They do last forever though!
Might have to adapts some Powerstroke injectors to it though for the 
electrical triggering.
