Hey guys, can anyone help me out here? I sent my harness to be rewired for my swap, but there are connectors that look like they should've been lengthend (that go to the part that controls the waste gate and the igniter that are originally located on the left hand strut tower wall) and four connectors that right now don't go to anything, and a connector on the transmission harness that does't mate with the connector on the fuse box next to the battery. There is also a contraption that was located in the full right rear of the engine bay that has vacuum lines going to the intake manifold, it had two connectors that aren't on my american engine bay harness and I'm wondering if that contraption is important.

Some pictures of what you're talking about would be helpful.

You are going to have some plugs on the harness that you probably won't be using. The only thing that controls the wastegate is the vacuum hose that connects from the hotpipe nipple to the actuator. If you've got that solenoid attached to your ignitor with 2 nipples on it, it's not necessary to hook that up.
