Woop!
Gearbox has arrived! Havn't been home yet to put up a pic of it.
KMS Is ordered though!
Called GMC and ended up ordering KMS, Adapter loom, wideband and display with the lambda bit and with the 708's he strongly recommended upgrading my injectors to bigger ones aswel to help with the running and they'll be able to cope with anything im ever likely to throw at the car performance wise..
..Needless to say i ordered those aswel 
Total cost for everything including VAT, delivery etc is Just under £1300 *ouch*
This KMS better be good Josh

Fingures crossed your looms up to cratch then, unlike mine was and blew the display on the way up Lol, was all sorted @ gmc though, just hope yours makes it - i would recommend directly wiring in the wideband display,sensor and kms power from the battery, but its fairly complex so it might be worth hoping it makes it to gmc and getting to them to do it for you,
You take your chances as they say.
Kms is good ja, just a pain i cant get it working with my laptop, but works perfect with my old pc, weird bloody things. I'll get it working one day so you can sit in the passengers seat with the laptop and look at a shit loads of information from the engine
Its an amazing bit of kit once you learn the software tbh
The injectors will take you as far as you want to go NA power wise as John says, So...
Everythings set up for boddies and solids when your ready for them

These injectors he said can be used with anything as theyre absolutely brilliant.
They'd just put some of those on a Turbo'd VTS that they'd finished working on which is putting out 220bhp at the wheels
Thats more power than im ever going to get close to so ill be happy with these
Hope this KMS does work fine, will definately need some help from you with it as i havnt got the slightest clue about any form of engine wiring, granted i havnt even had a look at my loom yet (list of things to do) but over a grands worth of kit i cant afford to blow up lol

putting the loom is easy as pie mate, you cant really go wrong.
I really hope the engine loom is plug and play with your interior loom, i cant see why it wont be
Wiring in the kms is fine as well pal, the only things im not too sure on is the extra sensors which mine doesnt have (tb's), but cant see that being a problem, i can help you 95% of the way with the loom / fitting kms.
I dont think the latest kms's come with the metal mounting like mine so you'll have to think of some way of mounting it to the ecu plate, securely but without it taking too much shock / vibrtations, especially with the group n engine mount shiz
I can search for some pics if you want?

The work that youve put into this project is amazing! And the car is mint! I wish i had enough money to even get a VTS engine, rebuild it and slap it in without all the extras in it and on it! Good job though on everything cant wait to see the final pics! Hope to see it in action too, you dont live that far away!
