Yeah, historically I only get a chance to work on the cars on the weekend. Tonight though, Maggie has her art thing so home is mine until about 22:00. So I'll have the harness laid out on the dining room table striping, crimping, and terminating the harness from the Firewall forward. Saturday after the snow I'll head to the shop and build the back half

Few minutes to get the basemap loaded and the thing running. I'm driving and tuning an FD now that is incredibly similar to Pete's engine. Should need very minor adjustments before he can make the 200is mile run back to MD next weekend

Two weeks and then we'll be good to tune. He'll just drive it up

I have a PS2k harness that I could finish up in a day and sell to him with all the sensors needed. Integrating it to his S5 would be slightly time consuming though, like maybe a day to feed it the power, ground and turn on's that it needs.

They start @ $2k installed

The ideal way to do it would be to send me some measurements for the harness from the firewall forward. Build that completely and then head down to get it all installed.

And I would be very little help because without seeing it, I've already given him all the advice I've got. Now it's really oddball shit that needs to be looked at

I told him that too.... at this point the helltech is nothing more than a really expensive piece of diagnostic equipment. Of course I could be wrong and the helltech will fix everything, but I suspect that there's a mechanical problem, or electrical, that hasn't been found yet.

My thoughts exactly but the problem is pinpointing the issue. Like you said, or something like. . Fix the problem before adding more variables.
