If not can you recomend someone around the bedfordshire area as there seem to be lots about these days..also i have been advised to fit a valve lube kit any ideas how much per mile this adds to the cost?
Many thanks phil.

Proper P.I.T.A if im honest, but ok once done, you need to remove the manifold to get the injector spuds in. Some of them dont adhere to the k line protocol and you plug your obd reader and it comes up in japaneese !
Also current not voltage based lambda sensors. Not a good idea for a first conversion. The flashlube usage is minimal. But you are right, they definately need one. Electronic multipoint variety ideally.
If you work out a litre every 5-7k and a litre is a tenner ? Its not really going to stack up in the calculation.

standard flashlube may not work as the manifold pressure goes positive on a turbo car. lambda's don't need to be connected, they don't do anything, they only monitor. done quite a few scooby turbo's, and they all run just fine. They do however have a habit of eating plugs and coil packs, even on petrol

OBD connection is also optional, if it is set up correctly it shouldn't reqiure it. it is handy but not essential.
