I have just read this post from the begining and am now caught up. What you are doing is an act of engineering genius. Keep up the good work.

Joey has already picked out the color for this car, but after her naming my orange Fiero, I may tell the painter to go a whole different route.

How about flocked (sp?), . . . You know, that velvety stuff that was popular for about 3 mo. during 1971 (or was that '72) hard to remember 'cause I was really 'there'!

I posted my immobilizer dilemma on a private European technician forum and I think I have found my solution. The 2000 Jetta uses the instrument cluster as the immobilizer and there is no way to fake it even with the Jetta's cluster. It would need to see the Jetta key in the ignition lock and then send the signal to the cluster to allow the ECM to run the engine. Even by using the factory cluster, I would still need to use the steering column and key, but that isn't in my plans.
I found a company that specializes in VW Immobilizer deletion and simulates the signal inside the ECM to allow the engine to run. I should have used a 1997 VR6 and I could have bypassed the Immobilizer by connecting two wires, but I really like the way the AFP engine runs with the variable intake. I just got done modding a customer's VR6 and I am always impressed how the smallest mods show the biggest results with the VR6. I guess that's how it got the nickname "VW's muscle engine".
I won't be doing much more with this swap this month because I need to have my GOF ready for the Carlisle show. It will be inside this year....yay!
If I do make some progress between now and then I'll post some more pics.

Bumpage...
How did I go so long without partaking in VR6 goodness...?
Bmwguru, I can't remember the displacement on your swap/build...but I think it's funny as hell that the VR6 displaces 2.8 liters.
If any Fieronistas ask, you can truthfully tell them it's a 2.8...of course the sound of the thing revving to about seven grand *might* give the game away...
