So do the wires for the computer have to be extended to find a space for it?

As far as I remember we didnt plan on having to extend the wires for the computer, well hoping not anyways. I dont think he has cut the hole to run the wires for the computer yet. I think there was enough to relocate to under the HVAC unit. Ill be in town tomarrow and prolly come by and take a look at whats going on and to see the new turbos you bought for me

Haha very funny Rick.

No havn't even touched the ECM side yet but there are 0 plans on cutting those wires. Been busy here lately so havn't had much time to get this finished but will will be finished by Tuesday night. I think I am going to run the wires the same way I did on the passenger side, on the bottom side of the fender.

On another note the passenger turbo will fit perfectly after being reclocked but on the drivers side, the coolant hose is right in the way. I think I am going to have to position the hose a little further down on the end tank about 2-3 inches so there is room for the turbo to rest. I don't know I think I may just let the fabricator deal with it since this is his project.

That's badass! I've been thinking about doing something similar, relocating all the stock and aftermarket wires to the hatch area and rewiring the complete harness.

These are badass for this kind of stuff.

BussMann manufactures that piece, I've got 4 of them sitting at my house and they are pretty cool little pieces and are completely weather-tight.

They are about $25, however, you need terminals, Delphi Packard Cable Seals and a Delphi Packard Weather Pack crimping tool.

So I've started my fuse block relo. I numbered all the wires twice near the fuse blocks and cut between them. The tags for the wires that need to be run back to the front got marked. I've been slodering those connections back onto the fuse blocks. I notice in your pic that you turned the left one sideways, why? Would it not fit vertically for some reason?

Oh, almost forgot, I also ran the positive wire from the battery to the driver's side. I have my battery in the rear so it was just a matter of moving that big wire. I'm thinking of running a positive wire back under the hood for jump-start reasons in case I ever need to get/give one.

Oh, I also re-routed the starter wire along the K-member to the alternator and that branches directly to the power wire running to the fuse block. This way I removed the black wire from along the radiator completely.
