Thanks, I'm glad the effort went to some good use and I'm glad you liked it too! :-)
After reading the above and some head scratching I've decided to opt for the sequential injection and wasted spark option.
This is probably a good choice at sub 20psi/9k RPM power levels. It's really a matter of taste. The benefits of sequential over semi and cop over wasted are both relatively minor. Neither are to be sneezed at, though. I had the opposite on my truck with COP and two channel staggered batch :-o :-/ :-( :-)
As I understand things,and please do say if you feel there's a better option or I'm just way off the mark here.I wont need a cam sensor if I dont have the COP but should support become available for COP and sequential injection I could add one at that time and upgrade then.
You're slightly off the mark. You do need the cam sync if you run either COP or sequential or both. Without it the best you can do is wasted and semi sequential with 4 outputs in use, unless you have staged injectors, if you do, then you will not need a cam sensor because you'll use all 6 channels in semi/wasted modes. There is also the option to run COP/sequential with Sean's pre-alpha XGATE code, however I wouldn't recommend that just yet for a variety of reasons.
I really want to get stuck into some electronic hardware now so I need to take advice on where and what to buy so that I can end up with a board that needs programing and connecting up. I'm really looking forward to putting it all together but I have no idea what to get in terms of circuit diagrams,components etc or for that matter what TA card to get

The best thing you can do is start a thread in that section on your hardware build and link this thread and start formulating a plan, telling us about it and asking questions. If you do that we can correct what you've got wrong before you spend money and get you to a working solution faster. Also check out his comments thread where quite a bit of development chatter went on :-)

I dont even know where on the forum to find it I'm ashamed to say.
Don't be ashamed of that, I should be ashamed of it, however... Let me dig you up a link... Hmm, actually, maybe you should, it was in the right place! :-)
viewtopic.php?f=62&t=471 - sticked in the DIY section of the hardware section.
Also it would be great to download the user interface software and become familliar with it if thats possible.
I'll try to get you the latest. Are you running Windows? If you're not running windows and are on mac or linux, you can build it from source yourself.
Fred.
