My 944T Cup brake set-up has the complete ABS set-up as well, but the abs-pump was heavy and i decided back then not to hook it up. Too much extra brake lines as well plus I feel I don't really need it on the track.

Hot Vw's

this months hot vw's has a really nice turbo fuel injection cover car sitting on fiksies wheels. They installed a traction control system on the car by using a speed sensor on each hub. The system also has a dash adjustable nob. Not exactly abs but still a cool system that could possible tie in with abs.

Well, you don't need a speed sensor on each hub for that. Just one on a driven and one on a non-driven wheel will do.
I have just tried that with my DTA-ecu, which supports full traction control, but the sensor-ring of the abs is too small. ie has too many teeth per circle..
I have now mounted a universal Hall-effect sensor and welded 4 bigger teeth on the hub, but no succes yet in recieving a signal, not even for using at as a speedo...
But I will keep at it till it does work. At least launch control is manually working, which is usefull with a turbo as you can keep the turbo spinning with WOT while the ecu holds the engine at a given rpm.
But I am wondering off
