Hey guys, I recently converted my GS-T to a TSi including an interior swap and install of a turbo timer and now the car is back together I'm having some problems. My radio/stereo will occasionally just shut off. It will normally happen when I put on a directional or accelerate a little hard. It will also just randomly shut of and not come back on at all until I restart the car, but sometimes even then it still won't come on. Now I have this exact same radio in my RS and have had it in there for almost 2 years with zero problems. And this one I purchased only back in October. It started doing this about 3 days after I put the car back together. So after it started I tightened up the battery cables, because the negative was loose. It went away for about 5 days and came back. I took it out and re plugged everything up, the problem went away for 2 days then came back. So I'm just not sure why its doing this. It had zero issues before my conversion and now its acting up. I'm not sure if it has to do with the way we wired the taillights, the turbo timer, or if the headunit is just junk. Any input/info would be appreciated thanks guys.
 
check the 12+ to continuity, make sure there aren't any shorts in the circuit either. try finding a new ground spot.
