worst part about wiring , once it gets burnt it basically turns into a welder and burns wires all over the car (that's why when cars get burnt out , the whole car goes up inc under bonnet etc , my suggestion is either find someone wrecking a damaged ceffy and totally re-wire your car(not as hard as it sounds) or send it to a sparky (wich will cost $$$$$$$$$), but even doing that your ecu could be fried and all.

Check Your 75 amp mains fuse under the hood, i had the same deal, not sure how i did it but i started my car with absolutely no interior and nothing plugged up soaking up the current, turns out my grey 75 amp fuse was blown - i did the tight ass thing till i got a new one and just cracked the top off and bent the terminals till they were touching, got everything back. Did not know until the interior was back in and realized no dash lights, no cluster no hazards or indicators absolutely no electrics except for the engine.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
