Default How to install a turbo timer?

I've searched and found 2 article but not on how to install a timer... Can someone please help me out.. On the turbo timer it has 6 wires.
Red= forever positive
Yellow= for key switch second positive (electronics assy.)
Blue= for key switch second positive (engine)
Black=negative
Brown= Hand brake

Where can i find a positive power and find a place for yellow, blue black and brown wires?

If you have a vehicle specific installation harness for it, that makes it waay easier and you don't have to cut or hack anything up

It would prob. be alot easier but it doesn't have one.. I got the timer from my cousin and i think he bought it from ebay.... I know crap but it was free and it was passed on to me. The timer is a universal timer.

Use this, it'll tell you what wires are powered when and help you decipher it.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/microbreak/366124328/ . Thats only pic i could find quick, but right behind the ignition key cylinder is the connections to it and you just solder your timer wire on to the wires on the ignition i think. In the pic you can see the black thing hanging with wires connected, thats it i believe
