The harness is fixed. Fuse tap on the 10A EFI No.1 circuit works great. No CELs, no problems at all.
Boomslang will have a revised harness available in a few days. So ends a monopolistic dream...

The only problem with the harness was the circuit BS tapped for the FIC +12V lead. The other problems are just FIC tune issues. The car runs great but the idle still gets wacky at times. I'm sure it can be tuned out. The turbo is going on today.

Well.... the pipes didn't fit as I envisioned so the install took a lot longer than expected. 12 hours, my back hurts and my bad knee is killing me. But, it runs. I've got a few things to finish up tomorrow like reinstalling the front fascia but I should have time for some pics. Vids will take a little longer.

Thanks man. The P0335 problem turned out to be something I least suspected. The 2.2K resistor between crk magi+/- wasn't a fix, it was the problem. I removed the resistor and the problem disappeared. With the resistor installed exactly as detailed in the DIY, the engine would buck and stutter at 5000rpm and throw an immediate P0335 CEL. Since removing it, I've been to redline at least a dozen times with no hesitation, no CEL and no pending codes.
AEM was right. Do not install those crk/cam resistors unless you absolutely need to. FWIW, I left the resistor on the cam inputs since I haven't had any cam codes but I suspect it isn't needed. OTOH, maybe the FIC was confusing crk and cam signals internally and lowering the cam signal voltage helps. In either case, everything finally works as it should and all I have left to do is refine my fuel map.

Indeed. Boomslang modified their harness to save cost and chose an unsuitable location to tap the 12V FIC power from. Descendant found the problem and offered to tell Boomslang how to fix it in exchange for exclusive rights to sell the harness. Boomslang declined Rob's offer so I had to fix it myself.
I'm not very happy about the whole fiasco but Rob was very helpful (short of telling me the simple fix) and Rustin (Boomslang) was extremely helpful, as he should have been, getting free R&D for something that should have been R&D'd before being sold for $500.

Need to get my friends garage done so i don't have to work in the cold. lol. So I didnt really get anything done this weekend, besides celebrate my birthday..... Which makes me think... where were you at my party. lol. Always nice talking.
