Got mine from Brent @ Nook & Tranny Sunny Floria spot on chap.I am using omex so can't help with injector wiring unless you want the original engine loom which I may still have in a corner somewhere. Are you going with fly by wire, if so I think you will be limited what ignition management you use.I don't know if Omex or Emerald have sorted there soft ware for fly by wire yet.Omex do have the sequential gear box bit sorted as they used my car to perfect it.

Bosch EV6 connectors - DC Electronics carry them. Tom@wiringlooms.com

When I switched from the LS6 to the LS3 GM had changed all the connector types and I had to swap out all the connectors on the engine loom. DC sourced all the connectors for me.

I doesnt always work, ordered head gaskets, they have a 3 day turn around and then either 90 quid to fedex them or wait two weeks for their regular uk delivery than another 2 days for them to unpack check and ship to me !!!
