I would assume any 8V fuel rail would work most of them have a metal outlet for the inlet fuel pipe I would use the original ECU that came from the ABF to save you problems further down Not sure if a Digi II would be suitable depends what the whole set up, but the mapps are proberly simular in spec just a few more BHP to cope with the MK3's weight.
You would need to ask someone like Diamond Hell he is our resident ABF guru on here!  :smiley:

I think I have a spare fuel rail somewhere.
I can always post a picture if I find it!

Time for scrappy and see if you can source the whole job lot!
I'm sure you want to get all the componets ready before taking it on or even a doner car would be handy!
I think you need to sort out what you can keep so you mix and match componets.
I'm sure the other ABF gurus will help out.

TBH mate my hatred for Mk3's and ABF's is the gap in my databank of knowledge on the subject!
I'm a purist at heart!  :laugh:  :lipsrsealed:
Who knows at somepoint when all KR's have gone,
I might have to do one, and ask the same questions over and over  :wink:
