He got a 5 cylinder from a Vanagon and was planning on putting on a 4 valve
head, although he may have abandoned that idea in favour of a 2 valver.  It
has a Garrett T3/T4 turbo and a large intercooler. It's going into a coupe
quattro FWIW.

Maybe you misunderstood me. He's looking at buying and engine without the
wiring harness and ECM. He is looking at using an aftermarket ECM. Because
the engine has no distributor in stock form, he needs a unit capable of
distributorless ignition. This is a separate project from the one listed
above.

What sort of involvement do you have with Audi's? If I remember right, you
are making a data logger, correct?

TTYL,
