wellthe harness connects to the wires in your seering coloumn which comes off by ( i think its 3) screws. thre is a wire that on the left side, its the last connector, thatswhere your harness plugs into, then you have to pull your center console out to reach the e-brake wire (i believe its the green one) but there is only one, and use the red splicer to splice into the wire from the tt to the e-brake wire, make sure u squeeze the splice hard to get a good connection, then you just mountit to where ever you want , i used 3m red double sided tape, its really strong and holds well

hope this helped

i tested that 2day and i will just lock them from the inside if need be(that still works) and once the car is off it should open with the remote but if not then i will just use the key

Yes I to have been searching for the how-to on installing this timer and using it to its full potential. I have it installed in the ash tray area (fits perfect). Anyone find where to install the RPM and Speedo wires post up.

is it true you have to leave a key in the car or something in order for it to work? i read it somewhere saying you had to... and don't want to do that.

No you dont have to leave the key in the car for it to work. I just had this turbo timer installed in my car less than a week ago.

okay so how about the vehicle speed sensor. if you use pin 2 or 3 (injector 1 and 2) on the ecu, the RPM will work if you calibrate it, but anyone know how to hook up for the speed sensor?

Wish I would have ran across this thread a while ago. It would have saved me a lot of time and pain in the ***. Not beging able to read japanese and not having any directions with it, made for a lot of fun.
