    So Ive got the oppertunity to build a nice ice violet grey corrado and it'll be running dta standalone. Havent really dealt with these before but I had one question regarding the old factory wiring.

    What do I do with it. Pull all the engine wiring and unplug it from the fuse panel?

    Just want to be sure. Sounds right in my head.

    I have to say I like your build(s)

    I will be running also 034 efi(Ic) on my 16vt setup, did you use 034 relay panel too? And did you run stock fans setup with stock wiring for the fans?

    Wiring not a issue for me, I like oem setup much as possible.

    I know vems-lugtronic uses factory harness as plug and play system and make new wire harness with new ECM. So does 034 as making custom wire harness. That some cool stuff. I like 034 products bc always had good feedback from them.

    I know few guys just cut the ECM harness and spliced standalone harness for power and ground and other vital signals for the cluster. Some just make new fuse- relay box for standalone system too.

    I just cut the harness on the engine side, everything else is still there for me.

    I mounted a fuse panal under the hood and run fuel pump relay, ECU, I/C pump and Injector power
    from it. I wired Aftermarket fans threw the 2 wire fan switch on the radiator and power it from the positive on the starter and ground it to the ground stud. in the pic on the driver fender behind the I/C is the small fuse panal.
