That is very encouraging... I will try to do this as soon as i can.  Does the VEMS system have a way for using the stock Throttle Body or do you have to use something else?  With the MegaSquirt system most 16v owners resort to buying a BMW 325i Throttle Body, and it ends up looking like crap.  I would prefer to use the stock throttle body, but apparently, it is very hard to integrate a TPS sensor into the throttle body... How did you go about this?
I am taking my injectors and cold start valve to Mercedes next week for testing (my mech is going to do it for free 

 ) However it is supposed to rain all day today and tomorrow so I may not be able to get much done the next few days, but there isn't that much left to go back together anyway.
Thanks,
Jim
