Sounds like you're quite a long way off the mark if it won't even turn over.  The starter circuit is separate to the management loom IIRC.  Sort that out and you'll at least be able to make a start.

The immobiliser only stops the spark, so everything should prime up and turn over just fine.

Do you have wiring diagrams?  You kinda need them to get things working!  :grin:

Check out http://clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133418 and look through Rubjonny's files here https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B_V9-6xfgGlINzhhM2IyNmItOWRhZS00MzBkLTk2MTEtNGIyZDFmMDg0NWM2&hl=en_GB as Im sure he has the ABF loom info in there somewhere.

immob box IIRC

Green wire is K line for obd port
Black wire is data line to ECU
Browns 2x are ground
Red is ignition live

the other connector is the RFID pickup loop

tho on some ABF looms ( seat ) a diffrent colour set is used

but if you've got the rest of the wireing right it should start without the immob box it just dosent run for very long
