There should be a wire that runs to that area. Just look around and you should be able to find it and plug it in. The same applies for both switches.

anyone have any suggestions for the power question. It might be throttle cable havent cheked, but wanna know before i go out there if there are any other solutions. It grabs hard, when i let off it moves but not as well as it should. I just cant feel the G forces. Its not stalling or moving slow. it gets up in traffic and what not, i just dont feel the hard pull like a evo should feel like

Are the revs shooting up when boost hits?

Perhaps you have a boost leak. You try tightening down all the hose clamps?

do you even have boost? do you have a gauge..
if it's boosting at first, then tailing off quickly.. sounds like you may have a leak..

no no misunderstanding....i have a boost gauge, boost rises, doesnt taper down (havent went beyond 4k). Revs go up as normal. i just cant feel the G forces like i usually do. like that pull u get soon as the clutch is up and the gas is down u feel the evo taking off like a beast and feel the in-lift i just dont feel that. no leaks, my boost gauge, idle everything is fine. Any other suggestions?

How do you know you don't have a leak? Have you pressure tested your intake after putting everything back together?

The only other thing I can think of is that your clutch isn't fully disengaging. Do you have any play at the top of your clutch pedal? Meaning, can you step on your clutch pedal slightly before you feel it start to disengage? You're supposed to have about 1/2" of play before clutch disengagement starts.

yeah....make sure your clutch has play first 1/2 to 1inch. If it doesn't it may not be fully disengaging . If it does full disenagage then hopefully it isn't spinning the clutch when you normally feel pull. Do it once for a few seconds then stop fast jump out and open the hood and sniff around for any weird smells

Well I kinda think I kno wha ur sayin n ithink dats it....when I let off clutcj about 1inch, it shut off I was surprised cuz before I had about 2.5-3in of play before it started to want to shut off. Is that it? I was just assuming it was cuz its aftermarket clutch. Any1 wit the same act setup could prob help. I haven't checked if it smells prob the best way to find out is pull over n smell the tranny area. So should I bleed it more or what?

try to bleed it more....then make sure the let out and play are correct in the pedal ....then go into 3rd gear full disengaged and run it hard through that gear and then stop asap and smell....that should tell you if its slipping....i have a act and never had to adjust or bleed anything. But its a little different anyway.

Dude, bite the bullet and take your car somewhere that knows the Evo to have them look it over before you have something really screw up. You have done well to get to where you are now with all things considered, but do yourself and your Evo a huge favor and just take it somewhere to have it thouroughly looked over. It might cost you a little bit now, but if something is not right it will save you some big time $$$$ and headaches later......

Hate to say it, should have sprung for the $600 install at Gruppe-S which they quoted you.

ok i took it for a drive heres the issues: Steering wheel doesnt sit striaght, it leans to the left at all times, so in order to go straight steering wheel is tilted to the left a bit. I thought he had torqued the wheels down incorrectly so i fixed that problem and that isnt the issue, maybe the struts arent put on straight? also, the car doesnt hit full boost at around 3500rpm, it hits lil below 1.0bar on my boost gauge. Also, i didnt change rear differential yet, i hear a loud metalish howling noise towards the rear is it cuz its not well lubricated? Also, the water temp plug is plugged in and the gauge still isnt responding.

alignment maybe? You did practically tear the whole car apart.

Maybe your piping or the tubing is leaking. loud metal howling noise, isn't that your transfer case going bad?
