on the fuelling side you need the engine bay loom and injector/fuel pump relays (yellow ones) from the rs turbo and plumb the loom in like this...



Pic coutesy of Rab from when I did mine all those years ago

I can't remember how to wire in the ECU off the top of my head but I think it's on this same loom...

i converted the gfs mfi cab to efi using an efi loom aswell and as said its alot neater althou the prob i had was fixing wireing probs as it was from a breakers and whoever crashed it before it got scrapped decided to cut alot of wires up!!

A mate had an mfi cab he fitted an efi turbo engine in and all they did was wire in a fez turbo loom by just connecting certain wires to the batt and 1 of them to the ignition live!! they were the wires on the multi plug u disconnect the loom from.

90 spec mk4 xr3i's had the efi engines- thats the loom you want
its a straight swap then a few little changes and your car is efi turbo ready.
