The TPS signal (green wire) is right next to the 4S wire. Carefully inspect it for any damage, since you worked very near it.
After which step did the CEL and battery light didn't work anymore? The fact that the CEL, BL and idle valve didn't work point to the expansion board (that controls them) not working. Verify that you get power on pin 24, as well as proper grounds on pins 20, 21 and 29 on the top connector.

I have an easier way.
So my CEL and bat light are still doing the same thing with the MS plugged in. They come on for a few seconds then flicker and turn off. I then plugged my stock ecu back in and the CEL and bat light stay on.
Here's a crappy cellphone video of what happens:

Update time:
-After installing the MS2 I got back from Reverent, everything works perfect now.
-Was able to get over to the dyno where Hustler worked his magic
196whp/206wtq @ ~10psi

Considering the 100* ambient temp, mustang dyno, and my small *** churbo, I'm happy with the numbers. I was really hoping for over 200whp, but I'll live.
Next steps:
-Fix AC so I can daily (compressor clutch is fried)
-Install radio and gauges
-Water temp gauge
-v8roadster ball joints (mine are fuucked)
-Roll bar
-RS3s for my 6ULs
-ASTs
-Seat/Steering wheel
-Enjoy till it dies![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Long term:
-8.5:1 built motor
-GT2860R
-ARtech ramhorn manifold/charge pipes
-VBAND EVERYTHING
-6 speed
-3.73s
or v8 lol
