16v no start problem

[tyrone27 at gmail.com (Derrick floyd)]

yea I'm going to pick up a 2 gauge ground wire tomorrow and run it from the
negative to chassis to motor.Also I'm going to try to use my scirocco bently
to start back tracking the wires.  I have a passat wiring digram so the
resistance specs should be the same.

I want to get this up and running so I can hold off on swapping my turbo
setup to it until I come back from cincy.
