Drive it a bit. Under boost, cruise, idle. Get a good idea of how it works by itself so that it's easy to troubleshoot later if something odd were to arise.

well no basically my car isnt doing well at all, could be that my apt is full of inclines and declines but i wasnt able to get it going at all

 

not sure what it is but as soon as i let off the clutch to try and engage a gear the car stalls out...after attempting this a few times my cel light came on. i also realized that the boost connecter that goes into factory ecu was damaged and i wasnt able to get it in correctly......basically i am stuck untli i can get a little metal replacement for the boost wire and then see if that fixes anything but who knows

 

i am at one of those points where i wish i had simply not done this upgrade as cool as it sounds but hopefully if i ever get this fixed i will enjoy it just at the worst part possible right now

 

Hey, San Antonio guy,
No technical advice here, but a modicum of experience.
I managed to screw my MAF doing my EXEDE install (truly mechanically challenged). Lots of panicked calls to folks on the board and to the super Andrew at Dyno4mance. Had to get some repairs done and lost use of the car for a couple of days. Now, months later, it's a super Stage 1 Vishnu car and I'm delighted.
Bottom line: anything mechanical can be diganosed and fixed. Best to go stepwise to avoid diagnostic red herrings. Deep breath. Also suggest just blowing this off for the holidays, giving Thanks as appropriate, and taking up the cause when help is available.

thanks for the encouraging words, i will probablly take your advice only problem is this is my only car and i need it to get home for the upcoming holiday = ) but then again i am sure i can figure something out

thanks and any advice would be appreciated

 

I am here in texas and was in SA yesterday will be in South Austin this next weekend and would be happy to take a look, Like Doug Said please check the MAF connector

 

that would be great David, hopefully i will have it running by then but if not maybe i can get someone to help me get it to austin this coming weekend

 

Ok I just finished installing all of this and I am having problems turning my car on, however if i give it gas i get it going and once i fixed the idling via the turn screw to let more air in it goes good as i rev up it does ok as well. my question is this did you all have the same type of problems which were solved via tuning or is this uncommon. I cant just turn the key anymoe and get it going i have to pump the gas pedal and it eventually starts. Like i said i also adjusted the idling via the screw and made sure the line was taught

help me out with some feedback and thoughts

 

Are you sure you have pulled the correct green wire?

 

well i hope so, it seemed to be just like the one on the picture it was the light green one

 

There is a least 2 light green wires on that plug..it will be the third wire in on the ridged side of the plug....check it ,so many others get it wrong

 

yes i am sure that is the one that i pulled

 

Cam timing is for sure at TDC?

 

Just for reference here's the wastegate wire(blue in pic, because it's the Xede wire, which replaced the factory green wire) 3rd from right over finger.
