You ABSOLUTELY MUST disconnect the battery before messing with harnesses.
As for pull start, get a couple of boys to just push the car for you, and shove it into 2nd gear, and let her rip.
Myne starts with a blown motor from a slight push. All you need is to crank that motor a little faster than what the starter is capable of.

Now turbo!
PLEASE disconnect your (-) batt cable before pulling harnesses on the PCM!!! If you don't, I think the least that would go wrong would be that you will be replacing lots of fuses.
Also, is the tow-start method similar to other manual trans vehicles doing the pop-clutch start? Get the car rolling and pop the clutch while turning the key?
TurboRX8- how many maps do you have, and are you using separate maps for different seasons?

before anything... just try jump starting it. then if it doesn't work, pull the int-x. if it's the battery, the int-x drained my battery too and really doesn't have much to do with the cold weather

I can't pull start the car. We got another 2ft of snow yesterday and the car is burried.
The battery is definitely drained but I have a 600amp booster power box with jumper cables to start the car.

I uninstalled the interceptor-x and it started right up. 
I let the car warm up and I brought it up slowly to 4,000rpm and let the throttle go and it stalled.
Something tells me I won’t be able to drive my car without the interceptor-x. Definitely a bitter/sweet moment.

Good news.
My car drives like stock without the int-x as long as I stay out of boost.
I get some popping sounds when slowing down but I can live with it for now. :D

Well now that the car is warm you should be able to plug the INT-X back in…. however!! Don’t let the car sit off over 24 hours no matter what you do if you are still below 30* F!!

Do you have stock injectors? If you don't...you will flood it bad if you try and start it on the factory injector maps
I would find someone to pull start you i you think it;s flooded........otherwise it might be a really long and frustrating process.
You might want to hook up an inductive timing light and check that you have spark as well

i upgraded to mazsport injectore (680 & 750) i believe. what do you think?
basically, my mechanic wants to find out that after installing the turbo, is the set up running?
then, when installing the int-x, if the car has a problem, then it's the int-x. something like that. is it a good idea? what do you guys think?
one more itme, sorry to hijack
