Default is there anything missing?

i cant seem to get a spark from my car so im just going to wire up the bare neccesitys to get it sparking, if i did this would it work? or do i need anything else including in it? I dont mid about fuel at the min because that all works fine, i just want to get it to spark.

if i do it like this and it still doesnt spark then does this mean my dizzy or ecu has gone?

Sounds like you've done it the hard way, if you strip out RS Turbo management wiring theres only about 7 wires to connect up in total!

it was hard to hear if the pump was working as my engine is loud when cranking, but im 99% sure it was working, and it felt like it was pumping when i held it....

just out of curiosity, should the number 1 pin on my fuel pump relay be giving out ignition live when the ignition is on? i thought pin 1 was an input signal from the wire coming from the coil via the tacho.
