hello there... im pretty much new here and i must admit, i need some input from yall.

i just got done with CA swap and there is quite a few problems that ive noticed. One major one, the tach dooes not give any output . checked all wires and everything seems in place...am i over looking something? :/

sencondly, whenever i power off , my starter relay "clicks" and will only stop when i unplug the MAF sensor or the Relay itself. tested it with a different relay and same results. Short?

plus i need some additional advice about fueling. I can never get a def answer but ii was wondering are 440cc injectors are good enough to withstand with the T28 turbo w/ 12psi. fyi i upgraded the FPR and pump as well. again, any info is greatly appreciated. also CONSTRUCTIVE criticism

the KA24DE tach is what you want.

for the relay? idk.....

for fueling..... 440s+T28+12psi +TUNE= reliable. anything else is risky.
