Thanks guys! When I get out of the hospital I'll get some pics to send to RPMExtreme and will update when I find something out.

I sent the pics off to Jon and we'll see if he thinks it's worth giving it a shot.

I am sure it will work
You could cut back the tape on the wiring loom and see if the wire colors mach the diagram
Here is the wiring loom tape I use. It works great and looks factory original

Did you see my post on the Tahoe trip
Also I am in the processes of installing the larger 240 amp alternator / Z fuse / 850 watt fan
I think the 2.0 already has this set up

I did see your post. I'm so happy you found something that works for you...hopefully for me too. Tape is in my cart, thanks! I'll look at the wiring when I get feeling a little better from my surgery. I'm supposed to take it easy for a week.

Before I could try anything mine overheated on a steep climb and caught on fire. I think the engine warped enough that some oil or gas or something flammable hit the hot turbo and caught on fire. I bought a used 392 with 3000 miles on it to replace it. I've put 31,000 miles on it in the last year and so far it's worked flawlessly.
