First i would just like to say a big thanks to all at MSD.
During the set up of the car they found a few faults which they rectified
I was very impressed with the way they went through everything, made a nice change for a company to do what they say.
My CO is now only 0.76%, it was above 6%
The engine is so much more responsive bottom end now, seems like i have gained a huge amount of torque.
Not tried the top end yet (bad weather and a long way from home) but MSD have set the car up to peak at 28psi and hold 26psi (was only holding about 21-22psi before)

Awesome Steve, told you it would be good, you've had what I got done on the Saph and it was an amazing road car! Your's must be phenomenal with a bigger turbo than I had and head work! 
I'll catch you on MSN, shame you couldn't have got a 0.63 housing on there instead of the cheat on!

It is hard to praise without sounding like a brown-nose to people who are unaware of MSD as a whole, but it really is a pleasure to take your car there... Utterly professional service, and you know your car is in safe hands, and always comes back 1000 times better!.... Also Stu makes a mean early morning strong brew , and Will and Stu can put away a few shandys on a night out as well....

Steve,
I'll recap the explanation for you
In no particular order
RPM - Engine speed, revolutions per minute.
MAP - Manifold Absolute Pressure - up to 1000 is vacuum, after that, it is your boost pressure - so, if you've got 2800 in there, that's 1.8 bar, which is around 26psi.
ECT - Engine Coolant Temperature - your water temp, which as i remember was fine on yours!
ACT - Air Charge Temperature
TPS - Throttle Position Sensor is a percentage (as we talked about)
Inj. Duty - Injector Duty Cycle - in milliseconds (unfortunately not logged on your particular one Steve)
Ignition - Ignition Timing in degrees
Hopefully that'll make things a bit clearer

Don't know why. Can't see a map sensor having a resolution like that or indeed being that accurate.
That would mean a three bar would have to be accurate to 0.0016 volts. Hmmm.
