Found out its the transistor array pin connects to. Just have to source a new one, solder it in, and it should work again :/

My fuelpump "on" pin (18 I think) also doesn't work, and this connects to the same type of transistor as pin 16 does, so I'll also change this one, to see if I can get pin 18 to work again :P piccie :

For the guys who don't want to go down the soldering route, but still want their powerfc's to save data, here's a work around :

Normally, when pin 45 gets + 12V, pin 16 switches to ground and thus activates the eccs relay. When cutting the power to pin 45 (ignition off), pin 16 keeps the ecu alive for another 2 seconds or so. These 2 seconds is what the powerfc needs to save the data (changes in maps etc). What I discovered, is that loss of power on pin 45 actually triggers the save process! But because pin 16 doesn't work, there's no time for the powerfc to save the data. When you put a switch between pin 16 (still connected to the relay) and earth, this switch will keep the powerfc alive long enough to save the data. So now you turn the ignition off (no power to pin 45), wait 2 seconds, then flip the switch (pin 16 + eccs relay no more ground) and the powerfc saves the data and the engine stops :)

might be a good one to add to the PowerFC Faq ?

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
