I've got a project car that im currently building. Its a half bridge s5 turbo motor w/ a turbonetics t62-1, Microtech LT8-s, supporting mods, etc. My question is if i eliminate the engine and egi fuse, what do i need to compensate for? I've already got the car running without the fuses but maybe im missing something im not aware of. The reason i'm eliminating the fuses are because the previous owner has done such a hack job of the driverside harness, its hard to pinpoint whats making the fuse blow so i figured i'd just eliminate it since i have no use for it. Also, is the idiot cluster wire coming off of the alternator necessary? How does the alternator regulate voltage? Thanks in advance electrical gurus!

 

i have the full battery/fuse block/starter/alt/coil harness from a s4 t2 if you're interested in cleaning it up. i dont see how its running without those fuses

 

its running cause i've made all new harness' that i've made. i've the full swap but i just dont see how its worth swap since about 75% of the harness isnt being used..... power windows, sunroof, dash lights, locks, and my stuff. thats about it

 

all that stuff you listed isnt on the main fuse block harness

 

the fuse is popping for a reason, you get rid of it and you create a safety hazard.

 

100% agreed. You'd better find the cause or it may FORCE you to, and that could suck to an infinitely unknown degree.

 

yeah i decided to go ahead and do that. the weather isnt agreeing with me right now so ill try again tommorrow
