Ha!
I don't think I've ever been accused of moving at 'lightning speed' before.
Thank you. I'm just doing my best to document my experience.
The plastic tanks are originally mated to a plastic center section with a modular throttle body. I'm not going to bother with all of that unless I run out of things to do and decide to get a DBW TB...you know...to cut weight and add complexity.

If you're using conventional COP units they can be a bit weighty. The Audi 1.8T units I acquired are pretty heavy. The pile of twelve of them is massive and weighs 6 POUNDS!!!
With the EMU black you could fire 2-pin CBR1000 coils direct with the coil driver, only two wires to each coil, not 4. AND they weigh a jaw dropping 65g each compared to the 225g "smart" COPs.

Ah poop. That's a brilliant idea. Kelly is going to be mad AF when I spend more money...
Will those CBR coils fit ok? Now I have something to google all day at work.

Yeah, the urethane roller would not be a fan of that at all.
I'm considering making/buying a round roller to accompany the cylindrical wheel that came with the tool. Not sure how I'd cover it in urethane if I made one myself....but all steel would be interesting.
I built a spreadsheet yesterday of all the pins for the EMU Black yesterday. I'm using that to ensure I leave myself all the wires I need, but exclude all those I don't.
I'm hoping if I get that fully sorted, I can wire up the main trunk from ECU to bulkhead (round) fitting this week. Then I only have to wire from the bulkhead to the engine. That's the easy part...or so I've convinced myself.
I can confirm that building the spreadsheet has done a lot to assuage my fears about starting this ECU project.
