Default Need help with installing turbo timer w/ alarm

Hi guys, I'm trying to install my new Apexi turbo timer, but I have no idea where the blue and green wire goes. I did a search and found something about relaying on of those wire with the alarm, but the seach result is not very clear. Can anyone explain where the blue and green wire goes.

thanks

the green goes to primary ignition(blackw/yellow in steering column) and the blue to secondary ignition(solid yellow).hook the ignition wire of the alarm to accesory(white w/black).

I would like to know how to wire up a turbo timer if you have a factory alarm also. I've done a lot of searching, but nobody has come up with a definate answer that I have read.
I know it involves a relay though

the blue wire goes to the large solid yellow coming from the ignition switch.the white/black goes to the ignition wire of the alarm.you do not need a relay unless you want to disable the shock sensor.as far as doing this on the factory alarm,if you find the ignition wire that powers the factory alarm you can cut it and hook the alarm side of the wire to the white/black wire.

Ok, forgive me for being slow on this, I got this far:

Green wire goes to the primary ignition (black w/ yellow)
Blue wire goes to the secondary ignition (solid yellow)

Now, where is the white w/ black wire coming from? from the ignition as well??
And that goes to the ignition wire of the alarm, correct? Do I cut it off and route it to the alarm ignition??

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Ok, here is how far I got, the car doesn't turn off if I turn the key once, but if I turn the key competely off, then the car goes off too. What's the problem?
There is a wire link from the alarm brain to the primary ignition (black w/ yellow), so I assume that is the alarm ignition wire, therefore I cut that out, and link that to the white/black wire, correct??

Please help.

i don't know man, i assume you have the red hooked to constant power and the black to ground?the way you described the alarm wiring is correct.
if you know where the brain to the factory alrm is,you could possibly check for ignition at the brain.as long as there is only one that should be the wire you need.if you do not feel comfortable with doing it,just take it to a good stereo shop and see if they will do it for you.
