At least I think so.
I got it its on the passangers side.
I install it and I have check engine light, but there is a clicking noise when trying to start the car. And the speedo when crazy.....
it when from 0-140 + to the other side of 0? lol
Whats the problem now?
Do you have to wire up the stock injectors according to the colors?
Also Does the deadend clip have to line back up as before, or can you connect one to one, the order doesn't matter?

That sounds like a ground issue.

Check resistance in the thermostat ground/ chassis.

The ground to the thermostat is in good.
check resistance on thermostat?
I check the ground/ chassis? where are they at
There are the thermostat, a/c fan, motor chassis near the fan. thats it right

You just stick a multimeter lead on the thermostat housing and the other on the chassis to check how many ohms of resistance there are between them.

Should also check the resistance between the ground terminal and the terminal cable.

I think that it should be fine to have them all connected to the same box, it's just a resistor.

You can either do in-line resistors or a box.

alright , i found a loose ground. that is fixed
replace the main relay , try to start it and the check engine light flashes(weak flash) and don't hear the fuel pump prime
It cranks but doesn't start

Check with the multimeter if the fuel pump is getting voltage, if so take it out and test it.

Basic troubleshooting man.

So what am I suppose to look for? How do I know its fully functional.
is the bov suppose to work then you gas the pedal?

the turbo will not make any boost in neutral unless your revving the ---- out of it, there has to be load.
