I just installed mine a few weeks ago, just take off the steering column cover (3 screws) and you will see a white white connection, just disconnect and put the TT harness between the 2 connections. Here is a link to more info.

You go under the glove box to jump the wire from the TT to the O2 wire going into the ECU, you don't have to use this feature, it will still work if you don't attach that wire. Plus if you have a IX the ECU is different and those pics of the ECU won't help. I've got mine ran without using the O2 signal and it works fine.

Thanks for those links, I have been thinking about getting a TT and installing it myself, think I'm sold now.

Its cake, it takes longer to take off the column panel than it does to install. Good luck!

i know its super easy to install, i just dont want to mess with that ecu without being 100% sure on the wire that i need to use, the install write up for the EVO VIII show a pic with the wire, but i know its different on the IXs, and the only diagram that i seen for the IXs didnt say. just shows all the wiring maped out??

Should have paid me to do it for you. I'll do it for a six pack of BudLight

But yeah, it shouldn't take long or hard. Just follow the How-To's direction and you'll be fine.
