nice write up, and yes I want to know why someone would link another write up in your write up. Rude.

Maybe he thought that I was requesting one and didn't look at my first posts. Kinda hard to miss 'em though.

It took me about 1.5 hr total, but that is because I was working really slowly and being very meticulous.the hardest part for me was getting access to the PCM. It doesnt say to take loose the three plugs in front of it so I kept trying to just pull the bracket out of the way, but it was almost impossible for me to get it done that way. Once I unpluged the three plugs and took them off of the black bracket it made it SO much easier to unbolt the PCM.

Hey man good write up!! I got a question though. I have been wanting to install a **** light like that for a while. My car already has a (tach adapter) on it. SO would I just need to connect to that wire then?

Hmm, I'm not really sure on that one. I would assume you probably could, as long as you find a switched powersource near by and ground it somewhere. Give Raptor Performance a call. They returned my phone call in less than an hour after I left a message. It seems kind of weird because you might get what sounds like a home answering machine with a " Thank you for calling Raptor Performance..." but just leave a message and they will call you back pretty promptly. The guy I spoke with was very helpful.

That is why I said he probably thought that I was looking for one.

I wrote it up again because sometimes, the manufactures don't include every complete step. I thought that this could be a helpful guide for those who need more detailed instructions.

+1 on manufacturers not always doing a good job on write-ups.

Nice job man.
