Holy cow this thread is moving fast!!!!
Mike,
I have an EEPROM burner that I do IMMO deletes with. I use hot air to lift the 8pin chip off the board. I'd be happy to help or steer you in the right direction.

Also, I cant say 100% that the stock 24v dp fits a MK2. I have had the stock mk3 vr6 and a stock mk4 1.8t fit. Both of which slipped into existing OEM fit exhaust.

As far as visual goes it's spot on to the eye with the bends

[Mikewire]

Coming together quickly for sure. Trev I'll tap your knowledge on the IMMO. I do need to get an ECU that will work.

Leifro PM me your phone so we can talk about parts and possibly a partial trade or cash on those parts.

Ran into an issue at the fuse box - fixable, but I need a new box and light switch harness.

Also, I found a picture from the Beartooth run in 2007:

Big PO wiring hack found last night, which leads to a minor setback...here's the story:

Picked up a battery, and got power to the car. I usually begin going through electrical, starting with lights and cluster, stalk etc. from the drivers seat.

Started with the cluster - everything seems OK, but no back lighting, whatever. Found the proper connectors and plugged in the rear defrost, fogs, and hazard switches. Blinkers had a couple of issues, but I was able to get blinkers/hazards working:








Next up, lets get parking lights, license plate light, and headlights going. Well this is interesting...:



No problem, I can fix that. Soldered all wires back in the connectors, and still got nothing. Broke out the multi-meter, and found only 12V to the black/yellow, nothing anywhere else, including no 12V on the red.

Traced it upstream to the fuse block and found bad wiring:



Looks like it had been shorted and melted the main wiring connector and wire. That needs to come out so I can repair - I attempted to pull out the connector from the fuse bock - there's a release slide, then you can pull the tab and connector out. I did that, but the connector would not come out of the block...WTF?

It's the blue connector, just to the left of the open space:



Whatever I tried, it still would not come out, until eventually I pried hard enough and it popped out. The connector is burnt and toast. I need a new harness, or at very least I need a connector:



BIG problem - when I pulled out the connector, I found the termination had been super glued to the pin, and the pin has broken and pulled out of the fuse block. That explains why I couldn't pull out the connector. Hard to see here, but that's a problem:





So now, I need a new CE2 fuse block from another MKII.

Man that's a mess! It would almost be too much work to repair the ends on everything. Maybe just find a whole new body wiring harness? You won't have to worry about the engine harness since you would have to use one that accepts the ecu you are going to run I assume.

OBD2 swap on my Corrado was cake. Grab a 97 Passat engine harness, and plug it in. Only had to re-pin one wire, and rip out a bunch of now useless wires.

[Mikewire]

New light switch harness would be easiest. Maybe I can harvest the fuse block and switch harness from some other MKII. Anyone have something sitting around?

[Leifro]

It was a cold beer once

[MT-Getto]

Bet I have a fuse block
