Found this on Gumtree. Incase someone is interested. Check if ECU is included as well to suit the loom, injectors, etc...

A good buy for someone although to get the full benefit you will need an SVT throttle body. never the less well worth it.

Should have said that SVT throttle bodies are not that hard to get from the USA and come up regularly on e-bay.
Nice spot Yogi...

I don't think you do your existing ECU should be OK and will adjust itself once the parts are installed.

Its better to talk to the seller for exact information. Firstly, whether the intake manifold is SVT or standard. If it is standard then no point bothering about bigger throttle body and spending so much on them. Those injectors are definitely are of high PSI. I think they need more current than the standard ones. This is where ECU comes into picture. I see that the engine wiring loom is included. This could be for 2 reasons, 1) to be compatible with appropriate ECU or if you notice the wiring loom picture you can see lot of naked pins. Wiring has been tampered to fit new injectors as they might have different sockets. I have seen those high volume injectors somewhere online and they are a bit longer and wont accomodate around manifolds to be able to plug in the wiring harness. So the plugs on the loom have been removed and must be connecting the injectors directly using the pins on the wiring harness. If this is the case then I wouldn't recommend doing so. Someone has to be crazy to do that. Even if we consider existing ECU there would be another problem with fuel pump. Not sure if stock fuel pump will work. Even if it works, it will be under heavy load serving those high volume injectors. Talk to the seller first and ask him how did he used that setup. With existing ECU and Fuel pump or he was just gathering bits and pieces and never actually fitted to his car. Manifold looks new to me. May be repainted.

I don't think I will purchase all looks a bit too hard. I think I may need to do some more research before going there. It's just that it would be nice to have more go.
