Then this leads me to wonder if the MSP harness is different then because i did ATX to MTX and N/A to turbo. That may have played a role.

You are probably right (Y) lol
And the neutrl safety switch is attached to the clutch itself. You will have to cut the pin from the MP3's dash harness off and hard wire the neutral safety switch to the engine harness. Again, it was two wires and took 5 minutes, and thanks to Ciruit for a good explanation it worked perfectly.

ok so i was putting the mp3 harness in today and ran into a problem. i have one connector on the dash harness and one on the mp3 engine harness that dont connect to each other. i will try to get a picture tomorow. the one on the dash harness clips in the center and the one on the mp3 harness clips off center. im prob gonna have to de-pin one and use the right connector. does anyone have a 03 p5 wire diagram i have one for an 02 but it prob the same as the mp3

Just cut off the pin on the MP3 Harness and solder the pin from your ATX harness onto the MP3 harness so they will connect, thats what I did. Everything should work fine.

Anyone else not have any reverse lights after they finished the swap?

You have to hard wire it because the 03's with tiptronic don't have the connector on the dash harness. Look back a few pages in the thread I believe someone explains it. I remember doing it with mine but it was 2 years ago so I dont remember exactly which wires lol
