Hello, I'm having trouble looking for installation instructions for the Greddy turbo timer in plain English. I already have the harness and I heard with that, it should be very easy to install but it doesn't really help if you don't know where to start...Anyone know the "simple steps installing the turbo time with harness"? Thanks in advance.
 
pull the lower dash peice off (under steering wheel) then pull the steering cloum pieces off and that should reveal all the appropriate wires. Just look at the harness for the tt and the ignigtion harness should be able to see which one to unplug that fits the tt harness and then it should be cake from there.
 
So, whatever you unplug so you can plug in the turb timer....is that just left unplugged after? (Ignition w.e)
 
but my turbo only has one connecter...1 three pron connector...a brown and wire coming off of it...then a total separate thing red wire....do i have to go out and buy a harness...(this is what came with me TT from ebay)

Yes, the easiest way to install it is to buy a harness meant for your particular car. Then you can install it like I said before. The red wire is probably the e-brake wire.
 
I have bought 2 Greddy turbo timers and luckily one came with English instructions! Near as I can tell (because Im a 1g guy), you dont have the necessary 2g wiring harness. You need to buy the appriopriate wiring harness to make it a plug and play installation. The 3 pin connector (that you have now) goes from the turbo timer to the wiring harness (that you havent bought yet). The wiring harness goes "inbetween" the ignition switch connectors that are located under the knee protector panel beneath the steering column. Once you find the right connector, you unplug it and install the
2g wiring harness "inbetween" the two terminals you just unplugged. Then plug the turbo timer (3pin connector you already have) into the 2g wiring harness. Its really simple once you have all the right harnesses in front of you! The other wires from the tt are for the ebrake safety hook up and the speedometer feature (I think mine (1g) were brown and purple respectively). Both of these are safety features that will kill the car if the ebrake is released or the vehicle moves while the turbo timer is running the vehicle.
