Hmm.  Have you ever heard of Allison (SP?) they make a breakerless optical 
ignition system for VW's that is very very accurate.  I'm not sure, but I think 
they're not too expensive. (50 bucks??)

Here's what's listed in the Volkswagen W/C performance handboo:

Allison Ignition
1613 Flower Avenue
Duarte, CA 91010
