most ecu etc are around 3/5 amps max so 0.20 is fine and this is what i use on all my pectel t2 harnesses.

warren if you want some 2 core screen then send me a pm as ive got 100s metres as i use this at work and its best to earth the screen at the ecu side rather than the crank or cam sensors as its a short run of earth other wise you would have to take a 0.20 earth cable around the engine bay. just make sure you earth one side only!!
as for the overbraid i use the polyster as the heat resistant overbraid is very expensive and did not make fiancial to me as i simply just sleeve areas that are prone to extreme heat. i mean if your wirings over 90 degree the insulation would start to melt anyway.

hope this helps lads and i get mine from vwp

cheers paul
