After keeping my VAFC in it's box in the garage for 4 months now I got sick of waiting for a harness to hook it up with...and now finally when a harness comes along...I don't have the cash for it so I decided to hard-wire it in. I expected it to be very difficult but it really wasn't. I took my time and the install took me 3 hours but it wasn't bad. Just take your time and make a check...check...and re-check before, during, and after every connection you make and you should be fine. I used posi-lock's for every connection so that way if I ever need to disconnect the VAFC it is as difficult as pulling the wire out of he posi-lock and there is still a good connection between the two ends of the stock wire. I have an appointment to have it tuned this Saturday so we will see how hard that is. I'll have pics of the install in a day or so.

 

so i guess with the VAFC harness all i have to do is plug the thing in and hook it up to the power and take it to the dyno..
hope you get atleast 10-15hp and not like some 0-5 hp..

 

Exactly. Hook it up...make sure you put in the initial settings for the car BEFORE you turn the car on and then go to the dyno and tune.

Also just to clarify...I wasn't bashing the people that are spending money on harnesses. I think it's a good idea to have them and makes the VAFC install much easier and allows for easy removal...I just am an impatient bastard...
