Pressure sensor is different. You need one from a turbo car. The NA one was never meant to see positive manifold pressure.

Are you using the turbo throttle cable or frankensteining the NA one?

Putting the battery cables on backwards can be an easy way to fry electronic devices.

NO cranking could be bad battery or bad connection

As for the Barometric sensor. I used the stock NA one for my car.

cool. yea i know it will fry the battary the odd thing is that the lights inside the car work but when i try to turn the car over i get a loud click like circuit break at first i thought it was the starter but its before i even get to the start position. this makes me think that the battary is backwards i dont want to try flipping it because of the electrical system being that the lights inside work which i dont think they would if it was backwards.

digi i live real close to you. are you saying for a turbo ecu the na baro works? boy do i love pics so thats the battery hooked up negative being closer to the bumper im almost sure thats correct. please if its not someone yell at me.. there is no ground from the engine to the chassis there is the ground by the top starter bolt but nothing derictly from the engine to chassis i think that may be part of the problem. any input is greatly appreciated thanks guys

It can fry delicate electrical thing slike your ECU.

The yellow stripe indicates ground/Negative.

The main ground goes directly to the starter because of the power it needs to crank.

Have you had the battery tested? Clicking once you try to turn over the car sounds like a bad connection at the battery which is preventing full voltage/amp.

The positive shoudl be the cable which goes to the big 80amp fuse on the drivers strut tower.
