id talk to libby though if you got a pump from him he caould probably make one when he builds the pump. would love to hear more on this controller.

The controller is pretty cool. The Arduino for those who aren't familiar is a simple microcontroller designed for hobbyists and the education market. They have a number of analog inputs and digital inputs/outputs. The digital pins can be used for PWM (pulse width modulation) control of "things" - the factory VW ECU controls the N75 solenoid using PWM. Oh and they are CHEAP. The controller I'll be building will have a solenoid for the turbo (and actually should be adaptable to really any turbo), plus also one for the LDA. It will be using my otherwise unused #3 injector for the RPM signal and then a pressure sensor to measure boost, and a yet-to-be-determined TPS. The controller has a map of boost : RPM and boost : throttle position, much like a factory ECU would. My goal is to have a setup that can completely fail electronically with no ill effects other than a loss of power - the car would still be completely driveable just like any other mechanical diesel, only it wouldn't be able to close the vanes on the turbo. I'm trying to use as many commonly available parts as possible too (like the GM boost control solenoids). Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Right now I'm planning on a GTB1756VK. There's a guy over on the tdiclub forums selling a package that has the turbo, manifold, oil lines and the turbo converted to a vacuum can already. And it clears the factory Mk3 engine mounts.
Pretty sure it is set to give out a 5v signal when the alarm is activated. I dig where you are going, mind if I copy you to the T? haha. Really cool ideas you got Bryn, all the best with it.
