pretty sure i had it done by a company called vagtronics and everything looks great he looks to have done a quality job and im getting the right kind of readings with the multi meter.
u can also see the loom running another agu on facebook which i know is my loom because i labled it all up.

god this is frying me noodle!!!

this was the only thing on the whole conversion i wasnt looking forward to.
