The most beautiful new part I've seen to date
Here it is, guys... my brand new wiring harness. It looks, sounds (no cracking), smells (new plastic) and tastes (don't ask) great. I've been waiting on this for a while. I got it from Ray at Malloy for a pretty reasonable deal. If anyone is considering a wiring harness, now's the time to buy, since the prices are going up; they're up about $80-$100 from last MONTH.
Now I'm going to hack it up!
If anyone needs some brand new solenoid plugs, or anything else that I cut off, please let me know.

yes...how much was the harness??? I would like to rewire my car and also, what does it include? Is that the wiring harness for just the engine or the whole car?
Thanks,
Craig

A buddy of mine bought a new TurboII harness back in the day. Man, you just can't beat new parts - all nice and shiny and whatnot 
.
You almost feel bad putting it in the car, since you know it's gonna get all crappy over time!

You're definitely right.
I'm working on the install right now - getting through the firewall is a major PITA. I came inside for batteries for the flashlight.

Phew harness is in. Back is sore. Hernias are plenty. Hands are bleeding.
I'm going to fab up the fuel return for my FPR, put the UIM on and call it a night.
For future reference, if you're having trouble getting that sealing grommet to pop into the firewall, give it a finger coat of lithium grease and tug on it from inside the car and it will pop in a lot easier.

finishing up
Calling it quits for tonight. UIM installed, wiring done, fuel system done. As you can see in the pic the rear turbo is not mounted - nice shot of the front D/P

I thought you were going to sleep with the thing tonight! 
Would be a shame to hack it up. It's also a shame to have all the extra crap when you don't need it. We need someone to make an alternative harness with out all the crap and for less then what the OEM one cost!

if anyone has a used harness for sale let me know, I can come up with some easy schematics and how to's for us single, no emmisions people
