Well after starting the car and deciding to drive it up the street, I found that it was raving on its own and unstable idle. I narrowed the problem down to the reticulation solenoid on the manifold and the way the vacuum pipes were routed.
After a lot of reading around the topic on IWSTI and google, I got a picture to confirm the original working setup of the lines as they were originality connected. I then started again, and still the same problem. This led me to believe that there was a vacuum leak so after a good bit of head scratching, I found a loose connection just beneath the throttle body inlet, where the boost controller and dum valve hoses were connected. This had come loose.
After starting up the car sounded great and I was straight on the phone to East Coast Customs to get the car booked in on 12th January to get it mapped for the new fuel setup.
I also decided to connected the recirculatuon solenoid back up to the fuel vapour return to the fuel tank. This means that the whole system is functioning as intended, which should mean no CEL coming up on the dash board.
