Some updates. The car would not rev over 2000. After getting nowhere with turnkey,i will never buy from them or recomend them to anyone, i decided to ditch the mefi set up. After a lot of pondering and tons of help from mike norris i ended up getting the holley hp efi. Thanks to mike and the members here who steered me his way . But thats where the fun starts. Although the wiring in my car under the hood and trunk are all done properly ,braided sleeves/heatshrink ,routed nearly perfect i was amazed to find this mess under the dash and console. Numerous butt connectors, some runs would have 4/5 butt connectors in a row. I cant stand clutter so i am redoing the whole mess. S far cutting out the junk and making a chart of what wires going where,started putting it back together today. I was debating to post the pictures or not, because i didnt want people to think the whole cars crap but its actually funny how bad the wiring was done. I have extreme ocd with wiring so it might take me a few weekends but ill post the after pics soon.
Enjoy the fail!

Good on ya Paul! I did the same -- hated those butt connectors replaced everything with unshielded connectors and heat shrink.

Haha! They only did a "get it started" wiring job just to get the car running and yep butt connectors! But Alex made sure there were none in the final job.

Yeah he wired the visible stuff hence the perfection. And then he left and 4 random guys went to work. Im saving all the splices and electrical tape and dropping them off to the shop once im all done.
