the critical part of the hall senders that I've noticed is the plug on
the side...
1.9 wbxr takes one style,
2.1 takes another.

generally ....the 2.1 style plug is pretty common,
for example....the 3 wire plug on the side of my 93 Eurovan 5 cylinder
gas engine is the same at 2.1 waterboxer,
and ...since the distributor signal is 'the key thing that tells the ECU
it's even attached to an engine ...
or that the engine is running ....I was prepared to run this 5 cylinder
VW engine on waterboxer Digifant fuel injection if I had to.

Since injectors are batch fired, I don't think a Digifant ecu would mind
triggering 5 injectors instead of 4.

WAG of course..wild .........guess, that this would work.
I like being familiar and comfortable with these Bosch EFI systems to be
able to say 'oh look....this will fit over here.'
And it sure helps in troubleshooting.

happy thankfulness day everyone !
