Hmmm. I don't have a clue about how to do this on a 2nd gen car.
But I'd quadruple-check your wiring for the controller

Yeah, I opted for the same kit you have. I didn't want to run a boost tap and run theirs with a built in map. The voltage controlled unit gives more options. I've rewired it a couple of times and components operate independently...just not with the controller. Now I'm suspicious of my turn on wire, but the controller turns on fine.
I emailed Chance at DO directly last night (found his email on another DO board). -
And I wasn't trying to accuse you of withholding the magic that makes these things work. I just didn't know if you had seen a similar condition.

It's been a long time - but I do recall some initial wiring funkiness before I got everything "right". Testing the signal wire is pretty easy. Disconnect it from the sensor and just touch it to the battery terminal. It should light up like a christmas tree and the pump should come on full blast. If not, suspect your pump wiring.

Finally got ahold of Chance today after trying for 1.5 weeks. Said they would like the controller back. The pattern of lights I was seeing should not be. He would like to bench test the controller.
Looks like I just had to post here to get things moving along! -
So, I decided to keep the controller and troubleshoot more. After talking with chance several times, it seems the issue is the float, or low level sensor. I have verified that the float itself works and I have verified that the wiring is good from the controller to the float. The issue is having the wire physically installed in the controller. I put the wire in and cut it off 8 inches from the controller and i observed the same behavior. I then disconnected the wire completely from the controller and it works just fine. I may wire up a separate circuit for the low level sensor. I am also talking with Devils own about what may cause this. It may be a defect with the controller board and how the wire physically fits into it.
