Great work on the wiring harness. I'll looking into redoing mine soon. Do you have a list of which fuse/relays you are keeping and/or removing? It would really help me narrow some things down. Especially the SBF fuses cause I have no idea what they do, if they're needed, or if I can replace them with normal mini fuses.
looking to use THIS for everything as it has 10 relay positions (hope it's enough) and 40 mini fuses. Any advice as far as which terminals I should order for it or any other advice is greatly appreciated.

A Short Blow Fuse (SBF) is fuse that is designed to burn up quickly when too much current (more than the rated value) is passed through it. During normal operation a SBF is viewed as a closed/shorted wire. It is a required safety device that will sacrifice itself or disconnect power when something goes wrong in the wiring. Nobody wants to see the effect of a battery turning a bundle of wires into a flaming ball of death. I replaced the main 80Amp SBF with this http://www.waytekwire.com/item/46691...rcuit-Breaker/ Conveniently placed I can manually open this fuse to disconnect power which I'll use as an additional anti-theft device.
You can use your 10 relay power block (call them to find out what pins, rubber seals and crimper your need), I only needed 8 mini-relays since I reused the donor's main,fuel-pump, and high beam relays.
Check out my google drive folder below for the parts I ordered and schematics (2nd page for fuses and relays) I used for wiring.

Donor was a 2003 Wagon.
*Dont forget the brackets for the power block, sold individually you need 2.

Thanks I'll start more homework tonight haha
So did you put the entire system through the 80amp circuit breaker and disregard all the other SBF that come after it and just leave it as going through a normal mini fuse?
Also Is yours a 80amp because that's what a 2003 wagon uses? Mine is a 2006 and the diagram shows a 120amp main SBF.

Nice work. I'm looking for an upgraded door handle so your timing is good.

Is there any project that doesn't apply to? I'm thinking I should get that quote tattooed on the back of my hand.
818S/C : Chassis #25 with 06 WRX 2.5 turbo, ABS, cruise, PS, A/C, Apple CarPlay, rear camera, power windows & locks, leather & other complexities. Sold 10/19 with 5,800 miles.
Mk3 Roadster #6228 4.6L, T45, IRS, PS, PB, ABS, Cruise, Koni's, 17" Halibrands, red w/ silver - 9K miles then sold @ Barrett-Jackson Jan 2011 (got back cash spent).
Over the last two weekends I managed to pull the turbo, trany and clutch. Installed ID1000's, vf39, Wayne's rear trailing arms and lateral links. Unfortunately the vf39 does not work with Craig's heat shield and has very little clearance from the shock bar. I'm currently midway through the Perrin aos install. Still need to install a clutch and the awic system before it will run again.

Nice, what springs are those? The ones off the R setup?

I originally had the VF39 which required the notching on the crossbar to not interfere with the wastegate actuator. Your heat shield would not work with a VF39.
After the installation of the Blouch 2.5 Dom, your shield fit with minor modification.
Thanks Kurk. You were one of the people I was thinking of. Surprised the 39 is larger package wise than the Dom. I'll make a note of this on my site.

I thought it was more of the waste gate that caused issues not the body of the turbo?

While on the subject of turbo clearances, does anyone know if the stock-location turbos (from the WRX IHI to the VF39 to the Dom 1.5 XTR etc) all have their outlet flange in EXACTLY the same spot? I'm curious because I'm very close to building my exhaust and while I wills use the stock turbo at first, I will upgrade later - probably to a larger stock location and I don't want to have to alter the exhaust system I build.
Thx, I figured it would be very close. Am hoping it's exact.
It's more or less exact (to within casting tolerances). BTW, my TD06 18G clears the cross bar with no modification but uses different water and oil fittings than stock.
The VF39 has poor clearance to the shock bar at the wastegate actuator and if using the heat shield it hits the housing.
Left TD04; Right VF39 notice the difference in the housing size and wastegate actuator location.
Since I wanted to keep using the heat shield and increase clearance I made several modifications to the heat shield and shock bar.

Used a hose clamp and a new razor blade to make very clean cuts.
Needed a slight angle to mate properly with the hose.
I'm not sure what to do about this. Maybe nothing, after visual inspection the airflow does not appear to be restricted. Clocking the turbo any further would require heavy modifications to the wastegate.

I wouldn't worry about airflow in that section just potential for wear. I'd keep an eye on it to make sure it isn't vibrating.
I like your hose cutting trick. So simple yet not so obvious.
