cheers pal ,,,,trying ,,,, small update had to modify the thottle body a bit as it was hitting the bonnet lol  bolted short runner up and checked revs ,,have to say works a treat  nicely missis the alti too ,,  started on some engine wireing ,loom is coupled up ,not tidy as i want to make sure its wired right ,when i set the ecu up  so engines in wireing will be trail sorted, oils in ,steerings sorted ,just need to get some pressure in the feul rail and see what haperns had it cranking over too ,and it have decent oil presure due to it shooting out of the pipe for the turbo feed,,,  |

small update due to been bisy with other things , as i was going to use the v6 vectra coil pack which would have donre the job ,but soon as my boost comes in it would blow the spark out ,so yet again ,had to modify a coilpack with a better ohm output ,then i found the buggar is a lot wider bigger then the other had to make another adaptorplate for it to mount ,so here it is     looks like it was meant to be there ,lol, just got to pick some ht ends up ,and thats the engine wireing coupled up ,ready for the feul and tank next ,,,somert else ill have to make thing is its were to put it,,think ill have to make one under neath so more steel is needed lol |

battery re-located to behind passenger seat
like iirc mini pick up ? washer bottle could be tucked
away elsewhere too, especially if you got a smaller one,
think the Pug 205 rear wash bottle was a tiny thing
