Drill a hole and tap it..  Weld some metal on the cam shaft to copy the Me7 cam trigger. Take a metal pipe chopp it upp and copy the exak pattern as trigger. How exakt it must bee i have no idea..

Yes, also thought about this as this is the way ithe cam trigger is installed on 1.8T, on opposite side of the camshaft sprocket.

But most elegant way would be to actually modify the 2.0T cam trigger to fit the shape of 1.8T one and thus providing proper signal and then use original Z20LET sensor wired according to ME7.5 wiring, they should be the same. The crank sensors are the same, as far as I can see them next to each other.

As far as I know and I asked, there is no (easy) way to modify the global crankshaft trigger offset inside the file.

Ok could it be possible to use that and modify it, you think?  Im also very intressted in this for my trackday MB190..

How do you do with the throttlebody and the pedal position sensor?  Are the opel TB and Pedal sensor the same?

Sounds like a lot of effort for a car that will be used on Track days? 

What's wrong with a standalone?  It's FAR better suited for any of this over ME alone for the fact for better data logging capabilities

True.. To be honest have´nt decided yet.. I have been running VEMS b4 and its nice.. But this car is supposed to bee a low budget challenge. I have a lot of Me7.5 ECU stuff and harnesses already. Trionic 5 i also in my mind. But it can also end up with a VEMS. But an OEM ECU would be cool Smiley  I have a lot of time but budget is extremly low right now.

We'll use me7 compatible throttle and same accelerator pedal from opel, but recalibrated inside the file, to avoid fitting vw pedal as different hardware.

How do you mean recalibrate it inside the file?

Opel pedal has same 6wire/2traces design, probably different impedance compared to 1.8T pedal, and this can be compensated I guess via tuning.
