Not read your post in massive detail, although this may help....This is what I asked them....

With the kit you’ve recommended, does that supply a gauge that tell you how much pressure you have left in the bottle.

I think you might be confusing pressure with volume. Assuming I'm correct and you'd really like to know how much nitrous is remaining in the bottle, unfortunately a pressure gauge can't tell you that. We do offer a 'bottle contents indicator' which is an additional feature that can be added to our ultimate controller - the Max Extreme Race, but both our outside your budget. Without it, the only way to know how much nitrous is remaining in the bottle, is to weigh it.

I hear that the NOS is activated via your throttle, again, is this also included within the kit? I noticed that on the Type R image that you sent, (which is an older version to mine) that they had parts within there glove box, are these essential?

A progressive controller and gauge are always benefical but are only essential for power levels above 50bhp.

Ideally I would like a Kit which is easily fitted, but at the same time, easy to take apart if I were to sell the car,

That's one of the benefits of nitrous injection, the system can easily be removed from one vehicle and fitted to another.

I don’t want gapping holes in the carpet/floor where the canister has been stored etc.

It's not normally necessary to drill holes for the bottle bracket because gromets that are already present in the floor can just be removed and replaced. A whole in the intake tube will remain once you have removed the injector, but the rubber hose can easily be replaced.

Lastly, what are the dangers of NOS and my car? From what I can tell, as long as its fitted right, there are no dangers….?

Yes as long as OUR nitrous oxide system is fitted and used correctly on an engine which is in a good condition and has no weaknesses as standard, nitrous oxide will NOT damage the engine.

Thanks for the help Lisa, appreciated,

Thanks for your appreciation, but it's my pleasure so please don't hesitate to ask me any further questions you might have.
