Nice conversion, had a couple runs out in my friend Andy's 1.8T engined Elise when he did one of the early conversions:
GT28RS turbo and Emerald ECU, 350 bhp
I believe he wrote some kind of technical or how to manual for this conversion, which he was asked to do by one of the companies that are known for this sort of work...
Either way, this was late 07/ early 08 I guess so quite a while ago now.
Ace car.

Started adapting the Audi engine loom ready for the Emerald ECU
Bits removed
Left with this.
We have removed the Audi coil on plug and are going to use a Bosche coilpack and the lead from a Cosworth wasted spark.
Just needs terminating onto the Emerald 36 way plug and re wrapping.

We bought a larger fuel tank from Pro Alloy so we should get mote than 10 miles per tank now
We replaced the heat shield on the fire wall.
We have had the Engine re-built with Scat Con rods and Supertech valves and a big ports head off the AGU Engine
Ready top Drop in
We though we had better check that the clam still fits

Had a Busy weekend, we got the engine in it final location with some revised engine mounts
Fitted some rear alloy belled discs
Finished plumbing the charge cooler
Plumbed the engine cooling
Finished the engine loom
Plumbed and wired the fuel system
And a couple of teething problems namely no power to the injectors
we got it fired up 
At the end of today we even managed to drive the car around the car park. With no Exhaust

We wasn't happy with the loom and having the ecu in the rear clam so we re did the engine loom and moved the Ecu to behind the Drivers seat Whizzisat made us the relay panel 
so we could ditch the lotus relay box to make fault finding (hopefully not required) on track days
We fitted our Gauges in the Radio Slot and the extra knob next to the heater panel is for the Emerald ECU map switching.
Made a bracket to secure the air filter.
Fitted the seats back in.
Did a bit of clam surgery to aid air flow
Also cut out behind the lower grilles
The charge cooler was a nice snug fit, lined up perfect.
Just the front clam to go back on but it's going to MIJ exhausts tomorrow on a recovery truck so should be a bit easier without the front clam
