Ready for a day of fun:

Here is the wire layout for the Ole controller plug that has TPS, boost, and another connector on it:

And if you need to take the connector apart, the Molex tool needed happens to be the same size as a regular computer power supply:

I took the connector off so I could thread the wires in the cabin through the fusebox, the stock holes are very small.
Some leftover harnesses after making custom glowplug hybrid 606/603 harness:

I kept all of the EDS system intact, so the comparison between AC pump and main RPM will still kill AC if belt is slipping. Flooring the car will not disengage the compressor now, that feature was eliminated. The om606 head only had spots for two coolant sensors, I kept the gauge sensor and glowplug sensor, but not the EDS sensor. For EDS cooling sensor I used a 243 ohm resistor so it thinks it is at operating temperature all the time.
Soldering in a extension on the old EDS cooling system wire:

The original hood pad keeps shedding on me, so ripped that out:

Some day in the future I will swap the steel hood and trunk for aluminum versions before paint, so just going to leave the pad off for now.
And finally finished up the engine portion:

Put a grille back on, the first time the hood was closed in a year or two:

That gap for the intercooler isn't too terrible. I might still have to chop out the top plastic of the bumper if it still gets too hot, but the idea was to keep it stockish looking. I have a curved light bar I might put across that dip in front of the grill to help cover up the gap and conceal the top of the intercooler.
All that is left now is to pull 4 more circuits in the cabin, install cameras, finish up interior wiring, finish interior trim, and final fluid level checks/fuel pressure settings, maybe this thing will run this year!
Well, made a little more progress, nearly time for the first start now.
