Hey guys

Recently my territory turbo has started to do a weird jolt when letting off throttle. Before people start commenting diff bushes hear me out, it seams to be electrical related. 

 

It's a territory turbo with a built fg turbo engine in it, only got put in recently and has been nothing but dramas, at first it would have an issue with the ignition coil fuse which seamed to be a wire running to the fuse box in the cabin was grounding somewhere when the engine mounts would twist causing the car to sputter and shutdown, that issue has been rectified but now there's another electrical related issue. 

 

Now whats happening is the zf is jolting when you let off, reverse up a driveway, hit a hard enough bump, so on, its not very consistent but from what I can tell it appears to be from the engine mounts twisting or a vibration. when it does the jolt it also shuts off the radio, (it also shuts off boost gauge, volt meter and reverse camera which are wired into the lighter socket). Also shows on the dash what drive mode its in, R when reversing, rdp when in drive, PEF when in sport, displaying it like it does when you put it in those gears, just instead while driving, it also displayed rdp while driving but when I was in PEF, shifted it back to drive and into sport which reverted it back to sport. I haven't checked any fuses or anything electrical yet due to the car still being driveable. 

 

I should mention that the fans for the radiator haven't been working causing the engine to run a bit hotter than usual, occasionally it jumps into limp mode when theres heavy traffic but its manageable, the transmission cooler is placed where the old hood scoop was, because the head gets hot and when it gets near the red the transmission occasionally starts to flash on the dash, I'm gonna put it back to where it should be but in thinking it could be something to do with the solenoids in the trans being cooked, unlikely as it's effecting the whole car but yeah should be noted.
