Err--Not so!
Just Dump The Pump!--Thats the Main stumbling-block
Fit a Mechanical I.P. from a 603--Turbo or N/A depending on your needs--fits right in, do the basic mods to injectors and away to go--No electronics to worry about anymore if you run the turbo motor as N/A with N/A exhaust-manifold...
For the Turbo--You will need to change that as the wastegate is vac operated on 606 and controlled electronically, but that shouldn't be much of a prob to find a suitable replacement (and better) turbo!
--Only real issue--IF you want to make more than say--250 BHP from 0M.606 Turbo motor--The stock turbo exhaust-manifold is utter CRAP--looks and flows like a nobly turd.....
The Finns however make some beautiful manifolds for this engine suitable for a variety of turbos--even huge Holsets...
I have a Turbo 606 that (one fine day) I'll fit to one of my W123 Wagons....
