[Mk2] [Turbo] rev2 - rev3 repin and sensor questions

Post by killerferret666 »

I have a rev2 forged build running a rev3 setup to put in the car.

Question 1
Manifold Air Temp sensor - where the 5th injector was on a rev2, I cant find a connector for it on the engine loom, does the Rev3 ECU require this to be connected?
If so do I just change the connector on what is effectively the 5th injector wires and any repinning? or can anyone confirm where abouts the connector joins the wiring loom! its baffling me. Unfortunatly the loom was off the engine when i got it all hence dont know the setup before.

repinning
Hows best to do repinning? i.e get the pins out and move them or do you buy some new pincs? Any tips of hows best to get them out as well.






------
This is more for info for people on here and myself as every search on repinning gives so little info as most links are broken

(the Blue wire with orange lines gets pinned to another ECU plug on the rev3 conversion, hence not on the repinned rev2 image below)

images showing a repinned rev2 plug (the middle black wire is infact the white one that is slightly extended, my guess is the repinning didnt go well)

* As the engine loom came with the engine and was previously running I dont need to worry about the other two plugs

I think this has answered my question....I need to follow the wiring back from the ECU plug and see what has been done and where the plug is. Ill do a resistance check to find the relevant plug to that those pins

Still after repinning advice though

thanks but I should be ok as the other two ecu clips are already done, its purely because im not changing the loom on the chassis i just need to repin 3 or 3.
