a cheaper (but more work-intensive) alternative to reverting to a carb and dizzy would be to get a megasquirt kit. $200, build it yourself, and then you can control fuel and ignition, plus plenty of other stuff with it

That'll tell you all you need to know.



As far as replacing the CAS with a distributor....yes BUT it'll freak out the ECU.

Yes its possible. I'm using an SDS EM-2 with a distributor in my 2nd gen. Its not turbo charged but it works just fine for me.
