Do a search for m-tdi. You can modify a mechanical pump to work on a TDI, so that all you have is a wire to the fuel cutoff solenoid. No electronics at all.

I was searching on this swap for myself and stumbled on this thread. So you can have a VW TD work on one wire and have the pump changed? I dont really know much about diesels but from what I have read this swap sounds promising. :P

You don't need to change the pump unless you are using a TDI engine that normally has lots of electronics. The older IDI engines already only need 1 wire. On this list, a "TD" is an IDI, and you will get different answers than what you might need if you confuse the two.
