What about using the KE-Motronic computer from the 1984cc 16v VW engine as used 
in the Passat and later A2 bodied 16v GTI's?

Sure, the same issues exist with valve size and rpm, but would it work if 
someone wanted to try it in an Audi 80 8v? Will the Motronic computer from a 16v
VW 2-liter plug directly into the Audi 80 system?

If anyone wants to try it, I have a Motronic computer from a 16v 2-liter VW 
Passat that I would be willing to sell. I used the rest of the 2-liter engine 
with the stock KE-Jetronic in my 1987 GTI 16v, but the Motronic computer is just
taking up shelf space.
