Are you sure you tapped the correct pin for the tach signal? I was looking at the install instruction for the SAFC on the VFAQ website and it looks like they are wrong. It's telling you to tap pin #16 for the tach signal. The description says

"RPM Wire: Connect the Green wire of the AFC harness to the Black wire corresponding to the connector hole as shown above (bottom row, 4th from left)."

Here is the picture (http://www.vfaq.com/proj-pics/AFC/gvr4/24pin.jpg) to go with the statement which tells you to tap pin #16 showing the tab on the top. The problem is that Pin #16 is for the Barometric Pressure sensor, not the tach signal.

It should read, tap the 4th wire from the right, not left. You want pin #24, not 16.

EDIT -> Someone correct me if I'm reading it wrong, but it looks like the wrong pin is labeled for the MAS connection too. If you look at the VFAQ ECU pinouts, it's telling you to tap the barometric pressure sensor for the tach and the turbo gauge for the MAS?

what's your number? so I can get ahold of you

as for the vfaq wiring thats how I did it and it didn't work so I rewired it by the instruction manual for the safc and it still didn't work. so I don't know. I'll double check my wiring when I get a chance
