Just change the engine harness/loom. I dont remember moding the tank on mine? Changed the fuel pump to one off of a cossie if i remeber correctly and may be the fuel pump relay. Your also need to either change the head to and EFI head or modify the head.

sorry to keep asking questions but want to know what will be best

Afaik torque of the devil has ceased trading,

Cossie management would need a cossie engine loom, crank trigger setup, phase trigger set up, inlet modded for cossie throttle body, ecu and suitable map possibly a pectal board, cossie map sensor, injectors, efi inlet. cts and act sensors, and bosses to make them fit inlet, cossie ignition amplifier.

Possibly a few bits I've missed. I've removed cossie management from my car, and will be installing megasquirt

Ive forgot about megasquirt, and i think they have just released a new version making it even more DIY'able to make your own maps. Forget all of the about that will be the cheapest option by far! And i know someone with a map to get you started.
