: Nevertheless, after doing the console over twice (because I forgot to slip a green condom on the boost gauge's light bulb as well as hook the air line up!) I finally got to this point. : : I racked my brains for a little while as to why the ignition line stayed alive after I switched it back off. I thought all my wiring was perfect. While the console trim was out a 2nd time, I took the time to check the connections on the MoTeC and found that there was no continuity between A10, A11 and ground!! Ok, so that explained why the laptop couldn't see the ECU either. Checking my notes, I found that I used the stock ECU's engine ground line (116 among other connection points). Now, I would've had that ground if there was an engine in there (!) so I ended up whacking in a temporary line to the body ground and lo-and-behold, the ignition line was no longer staying alive when I switched it off from the barrel. That also explained why the ignition line would be released whenever I hit the footbrake. Weird circumstances, but as always, a simple friggin' issue.
: but no news yet from my engine builder. I've started ballbusting him to get him to move his fucking arse!
