OK so after talking to a few more shops today I think I'm almost down to the path of buying another motor with all factory ECU etc and either selling the bare one I have or holding it for spares or another conversion. Probably fit the Morrris Minor as well.
New Haltech complete package = $1,395 and still have to address ignition system and cost of tuning, cost of ram tubes and individual air cleaners. One quote to supply, instal & tune = $2,200. Option to source basic computer package, instal myself and then return car for tuning also not overly attractive or cost effective and this was the way I thought I could go. Not worried about wiring up etc, happy to do this to save money just prefer proper tune as I have not had any experience with ECU's and tuning. Apparently can't come with base maps to be able to drive as basic package has no software etc and obviously they don't want to load any.
Purchase complete motor, wiring and loom from one yard for $1,500. Purchase complete front cut from another yard for $1,400. Good option even though not much else is of use to me as motor is going into MG Midget.
I know which one now seems more straigght forward and cost effective.
Of course heaps of people told me this before I started but I was hoping to tune well on MAP and have individual trumpets and ram tubes for that still retro look and weber like sound.
In general the Haltech guy expained something which made more sense than the way others (shops) had explained the problem.
Not so much that the ECU's could not read a vacumn from a quad equiped motor but that the change in vacumn was not that large so without heaps of resolution in the maps this change would not show up. eg ECU only reads in say 5" (of mercury) increments. 10" could be a fairly large change in load on the motor but only 2 steps recognised by ECU.
Something like that anyway.
Not sure if that's right either but makes more sense than not being able to sense any vacumn.
