Default Magnuson SC install update frustrating

Hello all, We’ve run into a roadblock and are Very frustrated. Magnuson supercharger kit has been fully installed. There was a one week turnaround time for HP tuners to unlock, but that was expected. Two things we needed to buy that we’re not included in that kit. Throttle body, And a piggyback harness. We knew we were gonna have to buy the throttle body and the harness. Throttle body came quick.
The piggyback harness has been a big problem. We are unable to tune the car without this harness. We ordered it through dash logic. The harness part was shipped by dashlogics who makes them. Item was shipped then returned back to the dashlogics for reasons unknown. We Haven’t been able to communicate with dash logic for days. They don’t answer their phone and they are not returning emails. In the meantime, my car is stuck at The shop. The project has been going for three weeks now. Only took less than one week for the install. Was super excited to get this project done and now the car sits. Is there anyone who maybe able to help us get the Harness?
I appreciate any help that you can come up with. The car is ready to tune just need this elusive piggyback harness.
Thanks in advance for any help from the forum.

Why do you need a piggyback harness is the TB located in a much different spot and wiring needs extended?

Good luck! I'm hoping it all works out! Where are you getting this installed? I'm looking at the same kit now.

local shop w tons of knowledge. Apex performance in Western Wa. North of Seattle about 50 miles. It sounds like they will be a certified installer for Magnuson. These guys are good, and the first shop in Western Wa. to tackle the install. The install looks amazing. Just got word the harness was re shipped. Now need to wait till Tuesday to tune due to 3 day weekend.

went with the 95 throttle body not sure the brand I will find out for u. It was under $300. The harness is permanent.. I’ll be into it for about $21,000 installed in tuned. That includes headers. The stock throttlebody will not fit the Magnuson supercharger.

Car's only been down for three weeks and you're acting like it's the end of the world. Meanwhile the rest of us that have done big builds with a significant number of mods like this are thinking three weeks isn't that bad.

You must not be a doctor because you're really lacking patience.
