Do you need to just borrow a cat, or you are looking to keep one? If you need to borrow one, let me know, you can borrow mine as long as you bring it back. haha

Looks like the extra power wire and constant power to the ecu help the car start

Sounds like it could use some fresh gas and some new spark plugs but here's the video. Got the harness 95% wrapped up too. Made one custom Coil Bracket for the trailing coil. Got one more to make for the Leading.

Yea harness is completely wrapped under the hood now. Just finishing up the coil and fuse box brackets. More pictures coming soon.

Anyone have a quick method of checking to see if the OMP is working?

The FSM has a procedure. Basically throw some premix in it. Disconnect the oil lines and measure how much comes out of the lines while idling it at whatever speed. Its something like that. While you're at should probably check the oil injectors to make sure they're flowing properly.
