The Deustch pins are available in two types. The barrel type, which TiTT is referring to that requires a special crimp tool, and a stamped type which can be crimped with a generic tool that's commonly used for Weatherpack terminals. The stamped Deustch pins are very similar in how they crimp to the Weatherpack terminals. While we use the barrel pins, if someone without the means or desire to source an expensive crimper wants to use or modify a Deustch connector you can purchase a new crimp tool that will work from us for under $50. Also, in my experience, nothing more than a good dental hook and a small jewlers screwdriver is needed to de-pin a Deustch connector. In comparison to something like a Delphi terminal which is all but impossible to pull apart without ruining the terminal and/or housing even with the "proper" tool, the Deustch connectors are an absolute dream to work with.

Infernosg, depending on the platform the harness will replace some or all of the emissions harness. On the 2nd gen, the wiper harness is part of the emission harness, so it's the customer would need to remove that part of the harness from their stock loom and retain it. Other than that, the injection and ignition is all controlled by the new Haltech loom. The 3rd gen has bits of the trans harness combined with the emissions loom so that also needs to be addressed. On both platforms the dash and main harness need to stay as they control everything else that isn't engine related.

It's important to note that we build the looms to order, so if you have a 6 injector setup on a 2-rotor we can accomodate that. If you use stock Denso style injectors and ID 2000s with an EV6 connector, we can accomodate that. We also started incorporating a breakout on the ignition side of things on all our harnesses. If you're running stock coils right now we build the harness for that. Later, if you decide you want to use a different style of coil or want to run a CDI, all we need to do is build a new breakout to plug into the existing harness. No need to remove anything other than the short ignition loom and reconnect the new loom.
