LH-jet 2.2 questions 200 1986

Hi, I'm currently attempting a project to put an LH jetronic 2.2 (from a '85-87 240) system on my '72 BMW 2002. I was originally going to use L-jetronic from the 318i, but I like the idea of the hotwire sensor much better. Anyway, I have a few questions for you all.

What are some problems that I might run into while trying to do this? I plan to use the 318i manifold, fuel rail, throttlebody, and pretty much everything directly atatched to the intake manifold, and everything left from the Volvo system. Any problems with this?

What is the major difference, if any between the N/A and turbo versions of the system? Are there any extra sensors that come with the turbo system? I know that the MAF sensor is different between the NA and turbo, but how? Is it at all feasible to just use the N/A computer for now, and then swap to a turbo computer in the future when I want to put a turbo on the car? also, how much PSI can the stock system handle?

Also, what kind of distributor was used with these systems? was it vacuum advace/retard, or was it mechanical? does anybody have any advance curves for these dizzys? would a different advance curve in my BMW dizzy create any running problems?

I've found a lot of resources about LH-jet in general, but I couldn't find any specific info about the Volvo system vs. anything else. If you have ANY info on this, even if you're just saying "don't do it!!!" would be appreciated.

TIA,
Seth
