3. no, remove oil jet from the block.

5. not much better then an a6.. just turn the boost up a hair?

Answers:
#1. Yes and no. It will work, but not without some "modifications". Depends on how ghetto/cheap you are.

#2. Yes.

#3. You have to take the oil jet out of your block. It's located in the center. You'll know what it is when you take the head off.

#4. No.

#5. Yes. It will rip the tires off the rims leaving you spinning your rims in a huge cloud of smoke. Have fun.

I would just get the right distributor. I've seen some butch setups when people don't want to use the right distributor. You'll thank yourself later.
