Snake - Omex, it's in my car now and the bugger actually runs!

zetec16 - you'll probably find the easiest if FRST - go for OFAB though as you can run 3 bar map and bigger injectors easy, I nearly went for DTA (talk to Grahamb about it as he has it on his 2.0 16v zetec Mk1 (180bhp) but Omex is easy as it comes with a loom whereas DTA doesn't. Cossie seems to be a popular choice too but i'd imagine a pain in the arse.

If you want really easy (and pretty cheap) go for FRST but the best you'd get is probably Pectel, DTA & Omex are close behind though but I'm not sure about Lumenition.

aii, thats the one :D , after having a quick look at what u can do with the system, i will easily do everything thats required, and aint a bad price either. Luminitions are a good bit of kit aswell, but given the choice i would use Omex..

DTA does the job, but like the man says, it don't come with a wiring loom, and it took me over 40 hours of planning, cutting, crimping etc to get mine plumbed in.
