Cheers for the reply.

The costs were roughly done I admit with me planning to use the Siemens Deka injectors over the Bosch offerings . I was planning on using the flywheel from my engine (a Zetec item) with the engine mounted crank sensor which is handily already present. However, I would require the rest of the stuff (MAP, TPS (Maybe I could use mine...), fuel rail, injectors, FPR, Coilpack and leads, many other odds and sods along another manifold (I have an MFI item I could modify) or EFI (But I understand the strut brace will no longer fit if they are put onto an unmodified MFI head).

I was also planning to fit the lot myself and potentially make the loom from scratch using their own basic loom as a base ; After dicking around with knackered LPG looms on other cars (sorry, botched!) I can appreciate that sometimes it is far better to start from scratch on some matters. The car however would go to a Dyno to be mapped.

I knew I forgot about Boost Monkeys! I recall Karlos G mentioning them and saying how they were great value. I take it Gen8 would potentially not require an EDIS module in addition to controlling boost via a solenoid in addition to having fan and chargecooler (well, an output of sorts) for my needs as well as being flexible enough to map. ATM the car is making 230BHP @18PSi but I have a suspicion the cam timing is out.
