So... what do you guys use to mount the module to the car.... Think the package said it comes with the module, cables, and harness equipment...

But only got the first 2...

If it's something like cable ties I'd just go buy some if it's something else? I'll email them.

You can use the cable ties to secure the harness so the engine bay looks cleaner/more organized.

Left hand drive and right hand drive different position to put the box... My fuse box is on the right hand side

There are plugs "can" and "turbo wastegate" I can't find.

With the "can" wire do you cut the plug off the end of it and join the wire that way.

Turbo waste gate wire/plug is not in the instructions

The waste gate plug is not used on ewg cars so you can just plug the plugs into each other and tuck away the wire. The can wires are the red and blue wires they want you to solder, but just use the positaps instead.

What about the fuse? In the little rubber box on the 12V wire... (we put a 20amp fuse in it......) hope that's right...

I started the car (initially the exhaust didn't crackle and pop) had a shower and went for a drive... And WOW!!

Anyways last question lol I heard you said there's a dummy plug... Don't think I got one of those...

Guys at manhart replied about the fuse... He said 5amp fuse... what do you guys use? I only had a 20 amp fuse, does that matter?

I would follow their suggestion. I'm sure if you write them they will send you the dummy plug.

Thanks Luminous for all your help!!!

Manhart = super quick replies prior to payment, and super slow replies after payment.... Go figure!

I'm a little disappointed with their service to be honest... Their instructions were for LHD cars while RHD cars have a different engine bay, therefore due to positioning some wires weren't long enough!!

There were things missing in the box... no cable ties, no fuse, no dummy plugs.

Edit: Manhart products are awful, it's not as advertised. it doesn't work, customer service is awful, and refuse to refund. DO NOT BUY!
