is it worth the hassle? i am basically starting from scratch with the wiring anyway, will it work with a 20v turbo? does know of a decently price set?

Ask Pascal, pvl on here, I know he has some tucked away!

I can help regarding installation; I’ve repaired a number of them.

cheers guys, would you put one in your cars or cars ?

Me personally, yeah – I have one in my 16V G60 MK2 at the moment and will have one in my G60 Syncro as well.

I find them a doddle to create the loom for and install, etc. but I do electronics professionally. For someone who isn’t at all into doing electrical work, a Digifiz is a nightmare. So it depends on what your abilities are really.

One on Dubforce at the moment from a good seller:

cheers for that, do you reakon it`ll wire up to the 20v ok ?

You should be okay. The important thing you need is the engine tacho feed for the RPM display. The Digifiz also requires the RPM feed to be a low voltage digital signal, as opposed to the signal you’d normally get from the coil negative, which is usually very ‘spiky’ due to the coil inductance. (The Digifiz gives an erratic RPM display if you use this, so on a normal 8V / 16V Golf MK2 you would use the input trigger signal that drives the coil amplifier unit).

However on a 20VT you have separate coils anyway don’t you. Does the 20VT ECU provide a tacho signal on any of its pins to drive an instrument cluster? A quick Google suggests that the 20VT ECU has a tachno output wire, which people usually use to drive the analogue cluster, which would be ideal. Haven’t any personal experience of this however.
