2.4L zzp turbo issue

I have an small issue with the zzp stage 2 turbo kit,
I would like to know if anyone knows a solution or if anyone have or seen this issue.

-After installing the kit the speedometer doesn't work, due to this a code came up about the power steering, also coming up in the DIC.
-the person that installed the kit says it could be due to the heavily modified pcm, wrong pcm, different pcm or something else. not sure
cars runs about right, the DP is not connected to the exhaust due to a difference size and flange, flange could not be found anywhere so a custom will be made.

this is what i can remember till now
any question feel free to ask

thank you

ok the problem with the speedometer was fixed, it was their pcm, really fucked up tune lol dont know why, i emailed them and they emailed me a new tune.
it was an acceptable tune, italianjoe did a touch up (well a good touch up on the tune and the car runs completely different) much better.
now i have this issue. engine lights comes up as P1682 Ignition 1 Switch Circuit 2 ECM, PCM
ZZP is telling me is the intecooler pump, italianjoe is telling me is possible the same thing because is pulling alot of power from it, but the intercooler was connected as instructions indicated.
I research and ppl had the same issue and resolve the issue, but they didnt said have to fix it just found the problem ( that was the intercooler connection) so i dont know where to connect the intercooler now.

on and the power steering, i send the car to dealer and boom done lol. my power steering was going off and on, all of the sudden the steering will get hard to turn. but fixed by recall.

It says in the instructions to hook it up to the abs wire. I found a fuse in the fuse box in the engine bay that had power with the key on only. It ended up drawing too much power from the ecm and the throttle body would not stay at the position it was supposed to be at. I used a relay and that fixed the problem.

thats what is happening to me, sometime the throttle body will go between 2-3k rpm when im slowing down in neutral. which one you put the relay on? did it took the engine light off (code)???

mine are wire to the abs like it says


mmcgee
where is the fuse box that you connected to???? inside or outside? you had to extend the wire of the pump right?

Mine was in limp mode so I might have been having a different problem than you. I couldn't even drive my car except to get on and off the rack at my dad's shop... I had two codes for the throttle body and when I put the relay on everything worked great. I'm still throwing a lean code but my afr's look good so I just ignore it now...
