and your question about the harness. its all plug and play unless u want to run emmisons and cruse controle. and u have to change 1 wire to get the actuator on the twin scroll to open if u are using the stock s4 turbo. but most people just leave it alone and dont worry about it because it only makes u spool alittle slower but nothing noticable really

no emissions, no twin scroll, no cruse

the one thing I did notice is the T2 tps looks like a 3 wire where the n/a tps I think was a 2 wire.. I cant find a 3 wire connector on my harness

Hey i just spent a few hours reading through your build up and it looks good. I'm just south of Flint, MI. I'm not sure where Comstock is. But, I just about where you are. I'm working on getting mine started.

I like that FMIC tho.
