[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15647964, member: 166576"] You should have no issues wiring the box in. I found and verified all my wires before cutting. Because Im a weirdo, I soldered in wire extensions to all my wires such that, in the even I ever needed to remove the WOT box for any reason I could just cut and splice/solder the necessary wires with ease. Use rosin core solder and use shrink wrap on every solder joint to keep moisture out. Its critical as these are mainline circuits to the ecu and to the igniter. Wire crimping this job is a serious no no! Solder the black wire ground eyelet after you crimp it. Even though its going inside the car, its a good idea to shrink tube it as well. You'll be removing the battery and tray as well as the passenger inner fender liner to run the harness. I actually used a length of heater hose to pass the wires under the battery tray to avoid any potential for chaffing or cutting into the wire harness. I extended that hose all the way to body grommet/seal where it passes from the cabin into the engine bay for harness protection. A generous wrapping of tape keeps the hose to the grommet. A small piece of mind kinda thing in case something happens to come through the fender liner for whatever reason. Make a jumper wire! The thick Red and Orange wires in the WOT Box harness are your wires from the ECU to the WOT Box and WOT Box to the igniters. The car WILL NOT run without either the WOT Box installed or a jumper wire installed. Ive got my jumper wire in my car at all times just in case. BTW, pulling the WOT box all but guarantees youre car will never be stolen by being driven away. :) [/QUOTE]
