Danny Boy's Mk4 Build - Putting the project on hold for a while...

Got it, Paul, makes sense. I'd do and recommend the same thing in that case.

Just a real quick additional comment I should have explained more clearly. In the Coyote system, the fuse and wire to the PDB in this case handles much more than just the PCM. It's powering the entire Coyote system and is the single source of power. Includes everything -- fuel pump, cooling fan, throttle body, DBW, injectors, coils, O2 sensors, PCM, etc. You get the idea. Inside the PDB are the appropriate fuses, and in some cases relays, for the individual circuits. If you add up the ratings for all the currents in the PDB I'm guessing it could get close to the 250 amps. I'm assuming our friendly engineers at Ford did the math. Since it's extremely unlikely all would be drawing at full current at the same time, the 250 amps does seem a bit overkill. But that's obviously what they chose.
