I'm good friends with Stu at MSD ..it was him that suggested I go there for the simtek fitted ,run in and mapped as it's more cost effective ..car will be mapped to around a 1bar nice and steady so I can set up brakes and suspension ..once I'm happy ill go back for some dyno time and push it some more a few brews and some tweaking time at MSD.

Always have, its so pathetic.
Im quite well known for saying to customers:
"First of all, dont tell me who did it, I dont want to know... I just want to tell you why i think its wrong, and what I will offer as a solution to fix it"
And I go on to explain its because that way, nobody can hand on heart say:
"Stu @ MSD said Tuner X did this that and the other wrong and hes s a cock"

you can get the looms and pump from msd mate but id imagine you already know that, fuel filter matt lewis or pj motorsport again i reckon you know that haha.
lambda sensor could be worth giving chris a shout at efi parts im sure he can supply them no bother.

I must say I read lots on here and never hardly comment but feel this is one of the nicest mk2 Rs turbos I’ve saw! It’s quite simply stunning and wheels aside all the changes are subtle which I love! And the spec is pretty much perfect! Matt can I say please keep up the good work your eye for detail is fantastic and your build a credit to you! Thanks for sharing it with us

I've ended up buying two gauges ..undecided but I'm really liking the Garret one as it's needle matches the dash clocks perfect ..just needs the silver bevel painting black .

After searching for an amplified coil pack I came across this VW item that the Zetec dragstrip boys run its good for 500bhp so will work a treat on my power level ..nice cheap and effective ..
