Default New Engine Loom - Advice?

Im looking at getting a new Engine Loom, mines very tatty, and ive been having some problems with the car, so decided to get a new loom seen as ive changed everything else

How easy is it to fit an engine loom? much soldering etc.. wire chopping. Ive been told that Ryan on the board is the best place to get them from so will be talking to him soon about prices etc..

Also what would you recommend to have done etc, i.e dizzy less ignition, boost controler, etc.. as im a bit unsure what to go for, or whether just to go for a standard loom setup???

That looks a right knightmare

did the loom that you bought plug in straight forward? or do you have to cut wires etc? I was thinking it should pretty much just plug in apart from the main live, ignition wires etc?

What did you have to change for dizzyless ignition? get the ecu modded?

Yeah my car now effectively runs stand alone engine management, my loom has its own relays fuses etc, nothing goes via the fuse box any more...

I run a pectel board for dizzyless..

yeah lots of cutting and solderig
