In the wiring harness X20 connector, I had to add pin 10, that is the signal to the reverse light plug. And then in the plastic box of wires that sits over the engine, there is a junction in there that I spliced the power wire for the reverse light switch into. If you trace pin 22 from the X20 to the plastic box, that is what I spliced into.

No you don't need the TCU, that and the associated wiring just gets ignored.
That sounds just easy enough for me to screw it up by over thinking it.

Thanks for all the help. I am hoping to get this done when I get home from this 6 week training course for work.

I am also going to order a new silicone intake elbow (with asc delete), Valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, SAP delete blocks, new clutch and flywheel (the m44 one is not doing good), CDV delete, new cooling system with Aluminum radiator, lower temp thermostat, lower temp coolant sensor, metal thermostat housing, and Silicone hoses.

I am probably going to try to get a m50 intake manifold and swap that too.

Is there anything else you guys can think of while I am in there?

What exhaust system are y'all running. I know it has to be custom. I have a welder and am planning on making an exhaust myself
