I'm software guy during the office hours with little to none eletronic knowledge so bare with me when I post my first schematics

The goal is to learn some electronics by doing, reading and stealing some good ideas from the other projects around here, just to know what I'm actually doing when controlling an engine.
Setting up this diary will encourage me to actually doing some work instead of lurking only (as I read a request for lurkers to come out of the closet and start posting...

Ok, the project in a nuttshell:
The car, Peugeot 309 sort-of-GTI. I won't bother you with the endless list of mods as no-one really cares except for the engine part

First time running on stock ecu:

So, on with the specs:
2.0L Turbo Engine from a Citroen XM. 125k km's or so, pretty healthy engine. Standard output: 150hp, 235NM at 0.5 bar or so. Can/should produce 200hp, ~300ish NM at 1.0 bar (max of the T25 turbo)
Code: Xu10j2TE, latest model from '99
60-2 flywheel VR trigger (why is this only usefull for 2500 rpm or so? Or I'm I miss reading something)
MAP sensor
intake temp sensor
TPS
wasted spark setup
PWM idle valve
coolant/head temp sensor
knock sensor
I've got a CardS12 with BDM, Codewarrior, and trying to order some (generic-) parts while reading other peoples build threads that can become usefull like 1k and 1.6k's resistors as I might need a lot of them, some Lm2940's for the powerplant, LM1815 for the crack sensor, TC4427 for driving the OEM ignition module wasted spark (from the top of my head: 0.227.100.201 or 0.227.100.200), 4 x VND14NV04 for driving the injectors, wiring for full seq. but using sem-seq. for now, some 1n5818 zeners for making the inputs monkey proof, 74HC367 and 74HC86 's, blabla. Still need to order some capacitors, opto decouplers and a spartan wideband. I'm really low on funds right now so I try to do everything on the budget which means some sampling, some waiting (ebay china stuff), some hussling.
Should keep me busy for a while figuring out what goes where and revising my schematics for a effort or 10 ...
Small steps are steps too:

Next step is building the power circuit I think.
