ZJChaser: Yes, from what I can read in all threads - Charlie seems to be the man regarding ECUs. Sending the ECU from Europe for reflashing and back will take several weeks - that is the reason for question about there is an ECU in the kit or based on reflashing.
Exige airinlet: I do understand that it is a lot easier with just one kit for several models. Just thought the Exige S installataion looked compact and neat from pictures.

I suppose you could custom make your own tubes and mounting hardware and put the thing anywhere you think you can make room.

Yeah we want the SUPERCHARLIED kit. We can only suppose that the quality of the kit will stand up the the quality of his reputation around here.

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud. After a while, you realise the pig is enjoying it.

This is a very exciting project.
The only question I have is what octane gasoline does it run on?
