You've got the guide there, thats the manual as it stands.
A pin out exists at the end of the manual


I have that as my wallpaper as I am constantly refering to it when working on VEMS installs

you guys are great..  best 200 Us dollars ive spen all year..        SO i dont even have to change any wiring in the ECU do i?  Almost a plug and play other then wiring and ECU programming.. I dont have to run additional circuits like i wouldhave to with megasquirt.. 

The 3.2 VEMS is the same pinout as the 3.3 unit isnt it

Pretty much the same, there may be differences that we need to address if you start trying to use the extended functionality but youre a long way off that.
The only thing VEMS has in common with MegaSquirt is that we use MegaTune, writing a tuning package is an immense task and the MT guys have done an excellent job.

Exactly i am far off from extending its uses.. but for now  It should work great

By the way this is teh car thats its in:

1987 VW Quantum  SYncro Wagon
Spec stage3+ clutch
Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel
ABH ADui 4.2L V8
STacked head gaskets
440 injectors.. may have to go bigger though
Was going to run a twin turbo setup.. now I am leaning towards a single turbo  T04S 60-1      Will be running around 15 PSi of boost    SHould make around 500 WTQ and around 600 WHP if the block can hold it.
