Hi all
Can anyone tell me if they had trouble feeding m30 ecu plug through the bulkhead? On mine the hole is just too small for the plug! The only thing that i have seen on wiki is that the loom is shorter and ecu needs turning around but nothing about plug not fitting through the bulkhead hole. Btw The plug it self doesn't come apart in the way that it would help with it, so is my only option to cut the hole wider?
Thanks for your help in advance
