So had chance to complete the wiring and get the engine loom in and fired up!! and after a few minor issues chasing wiring faults that were not actually there I got the Dashboard and ECU to fire up:

Now granted its not the easiest to read with no dials (some thieving git pinched them the morning I picked up the engine from the breakers!) but most of the important bits are lighting up now and the couple that are not have been sorted since this image. thats about as far as I can go now without the engine installed and wired up as the ECU is going mental as it cant see the sensors on the engine - I chased a power fault for hours worried I'd cut a wire I should not of done to power the fuel pump, only to discover the reason I could not see power going to the pump was becouse the ECU could not see the crank sensor!! and therfore had shut down the pump relay!!!, so I moved back to the engine and set to, cleaning up the manifolds / fitting the new gaskets etc, this is what the engine looks like at the moment:

both manifolds are back on, fuel rail and injectors are back on, need to flip the engine tonight and fit a new oil pickup, then do the timing belt and pump and then i can button it back up, fit the turbo and pipework, put it on the hoist and fit the mainbearing seal, new flywheel and clutch - then its just the gearbox to clean up and sort the seals.. getting there slowly
