Ok back to battery wire questions: I think I figured out this mystery, previous owner had a relocated battery in trunk at one point and this was used to jump power then they quickly put car back to stock and used this to jump power to that mess of wires in previous post. Good to know they didn’t care for the next guy and the potential fire hazard that could caused.

I wanted to take the car around the block once but I pulled out of my driveway and the car just simply needs a tune bad after the s2 install. It leans out at idle and runs fine over 1300-1500 rpm and isles around 1000 give it take. I just don’t want to hurt anything so she’s staying parked until I get some funds for tune.
Has anyone done any email tunes with English Racing? Thanks
