Default Crank position sensor for megasquirt

Hi! i`m converting my MFI rs turbo to run Megasquirt data controlled injection but since the engine recently had a full rebuild and has not been used since, i don`t want to tare it apart to fit a crankposition sensor. but i`ve seen some rs turbos run a sensor on the cam carrier and i`m looking for a kit like this. i have a sensor and i am capable of making one of my own if someone could tell me how and what to use etc.
but if not, could someone tell me where to buy a kit?

Sensor on cam is PHASE SENSOR and NOT CRANK SENSOR, as the cam runs at half crank speed.

As above. You'll need to look into mounting a trigger wheel on the bottom pulley.

It doesn't need to be a phase sensor if it's on the cam shaft.

Pogona, you're very vague about what you want and it makes it difficult to help you. Are you after fuel-only system, distributor controller spark, twin coil wasted spark or COP ignition?
