Default 1AFA WIRING TO FIT OFAB

I have just bought a complete EFi MK4 loom to convert my RST to EFI but it is 1AFA instead of OFAB. Does anyone know what pins to change?

Cheers
Dave

We meet again

Remove the red strip from the front of the ecu plug,
Move pin 27, to pin 8,
Move Pin 45, to pin 27,

Pin 2 of the EDIS (blue/yellow) needs cutting, and you need to source a plug to fit the marelli map sensor and wire it up.

Job done

Cool. I've managed to get a complete loom so will make life easier when converting over. Better than splicing into the old loom. Its in better condition than mine anyway.

You will almost certainly regret using the words "life, mine, and make easier" when you go to change the looms, ESPECIALLY the clock wiring up the A pillar

Fairplay ive only tried a couple of times and it wasn't coming out for shit so i cut it.

HOWEVER...........getting it out is one task, getting it back up there is something else altogether!!!!

GOOD LUCK

Its amazing what you can do with a piece of copper wire.
