Definately go back to the place that installed them. It is probably a human error on their part.

But if they did not do it right the first time, or have never done one on the S b-4 they might not know what they did wrong.

How did the shop tap the ESM into the ECU????? Give them a call and ask them. I bet it will be one or the other. ESM or vaccum lines. Not sure if this is true but I hear their was a bad batch of fuel pressure regulators from the old kits. Is the kit new or used?????

It's a new kit from the HT Guys group buy. I'm sure I'll end up bringing it back to where I had the work done, I was just hoping to figure it out myself. Honestly it can be a PITA to drop my car off for a few days and have to figure out rides for work, etc.

so let me get this straight (im very cautious with electrical stuff) This is similar to a v-afc installation.. u have the map sensor feed into the esm and the esm feed into the ecu. Then the other two lines are for power and ground... doesnt seem too hard to understand or am i wrong here?

Yea, I didn't realize how straight forward it was until I took it apart to have a look. I re-crimped the connectors and everything has been working fine since.
