How easy is this to do? I know i will need a fuel tank, pump, engine, loom & box if i use the injectors. Is there anything else i will need? Is it worth running the engine on carbs, probably twin weber 45's? Would this save all the wiring and i wouldnt need a new tank? Also what sort of gains would the carbs give me?

And whilst im here what are the easiest and cost effective ways of getting more power form the 1.6 gsi engine? thanks

You'd lose with the carbs, and having them setup would cost more than a brand new fuel tank and pump.

As long as you've got engine, engine loom, ecu and gearbox thats the front end sorted..
