Freelander- 1.8k turbo, 75/fl1 crank sensor issues?

I've still got the Missus' Freelander sat on the farm and she now wants something done with it. It's an early model with mems 1.9.



Been looking into converting it to a 1.8k turbo. Obviously it'd be easier starting with a mems 3 k series but that's not the case so I'll have to play it by ear. The whole thing, interior, engine, suspension etc needs stripping out so it is viable.



The Freelander crank sensor uses an inductive type sensor, bolted into the block, and reads off the back of the flywheel. The R75 uses a Hall Effect sensor, mounted in the gearbox bellhousing, and reads off the outer edge of the DMF. Is there any way around this?



Would a steptronic ecu mapped by z&f read the pg1 sensor signal, or are the options either use an aftermarket ecu or keep the 75 box and dmf and run the Freelander as FWD.
