    Did it idle successfully in the donor car? If yes, I would look for air leaks. I didn't think they needed any special wiring affecting idling like the 16vs.

    Check for air leaks by spraying some wd40 around the gaskets ect making sure it can't get straight into the air filter obviously and listening for a rev increase. Check your also getting a live and earth at speed sensor. Black is switched live and brown is earth.
