Wired up most of the sensors and ECU to the b230+16v in the 242. One small adjustment to the wiring loom had to be made for the power supply to the e-pedal. Power was wired from the ignition relay, which threw an error as the pedal wasn’t powered continuously while the ecu was on. Everything else seemed to be working ok. No cranking yet as the oil lines to the turbo aren’t finished yet, but good progress.
Also started wiring up the 8HP gearbox but I’m waiting for the shifter connector to arrive before I can continue.

I think the rule is that you are required to have at least one wiring mistake in any new harness, so now you’re good to go 😅
How tight is it fitting the 8hp in the 242 tunnel?

Different stories regarding fitment. I’m using the ASS motormounts to reduce the engine movement, but I think it moved the motor up a bit as well. I had to hammer the tunnel quite a bit in the area where it meets the firewall. But people using the same adapter reportedly did not have to do anything to the tunnel. But I also wanted to be able to remove the trans without the motor so needed a bit extra.
