OK. So I got my beast running and all is good. Took it for a good drive last night and the turbo timer did as it was supposed to. However today on my way to lunch my car just dies. Checked all fuses and the large pink IGN bus fuse up front is blown. Maybe it was just old, replaced it with another 30 amp fuse and no faster than I got my ignition turned on and the timer started to light up did it blow. I have it wired right as far as I can tell. I used the 1g harness etc. However on my harness is 3 wires that have been capped off. These for the stock alarm system?

Ok, well I pulled the turbotimer from the harness, stole a 30amp fuse from my belts just to see if it would be ok and no problems. Is the turbo timer shot? Maybe I have a bad ground? I dont know whats up with it.
 
If you want you could try taking out the turbo timer and reconnect everything like it was to see if it still blows fuses, if it still does then you most likely have a bad ground.
 
WELL, i didnt have the o2 wire hooked up just tucked up under the kneeboard. Im thinking it was grounding out. After hooking it up to the same place as my af gauge i know longer have the issue. I will know more tomorrow when I go to work and try to take lunch again. Stupid tow for that thing was 81.00 just to get it home
