Yes, I am using ALH electronics with an AHU, if you are using an AHU ECU I think it will fit behind the glove box. Space is tight if you are trying to hide it.

just use the alh harness, and alh n75, but reprogramming the ecm required for WG turbo....ahu/1z pump connector can be swapped to match the ALH harness or you can just use an ALH pump with appropriate IP bracket mods.... my buddy is running his AHU with ALH harness and pump in his 86' westy ... it does great and is also port flashable (121 pin ecm)

If you use all the ALH components, which are easier to source, the ECU doesn't care if it's an ALH or an AHU. I preferred the AHU for my swap (still an ongoing project) due to oil pan clearance, firewall clearance (vacuum pump), oil filter setup and motor mount options. I liked the compact harness of the ALH once all the non essential wires were removed and the ability to run an 11mm IP and VNT turbo. You can get the AHU ECU chipped for that though...

I do. But.... I haven't been able to ever load a picture on any of my threads.

I usually post them in my album. I'll post some there

how can you not have a computer? vw projects and no VCDS?? come on man, you can get a very decent laptop used/new these days for <$200 easily. in any case, if you're uploading pics to tdiclub, you can upload them elsewhere, and just insert links to pics in your posts so people can see them easier without going through the cumbersome tdiclub pic server

Ok. So there's some pictures. Not like the swap hasn't been done before. I tried to make the engine compartment look as stock as possible.
