Default how to wire a VG30 to the dime?

The engine is all ready to go in the bay (with the custom motor mounts and oil pan from team thump and just about everything is needed to get it in there) except the tranny member which I will build once the engine is in place. Then I thought, how in hell am I going to wire it? so I searched and came up with no definite answer all I know is about 8 wires that go into the 510 harness, but it might as well be one I still wouldn't know which one. By this time you realize wiring is not my cup of tea and to be honest I was tempted to use my little knowledge and try it but I didn't want to mess anything up. I even bought the DQ issues with the VG30dett build and to my surprise the wiring is not covered there! . So if anyone has a definite answers and baby steps to wire a vg30 please contact me. or post it up! thanks

Are you running a carb or factory injection? Which engine is it, VG30E, VG30DE, etc.

More info please.

I'm running factory Injection and it is the VG30e. I'm going to use a external fuel pump out of a VW jetta. I thought about running carbs to make my life easier but the price of a carb set up was too much

The fuel injections will make for a nicer driving car once it is all done.

Check out Chris Vondrachek's website for wiring info.
