yeah there is another side to the harness but thats mostly for 240's and what not... all you have to do is cut the clip and sodier the wires into you ignition... nothing wrong with that.. but I cant tell you which wires go where. I do know the black is ground (as like everythign else) the green goes to the packing brake... not sure about the others

yeah its a turbo timer you really dont need it... I think its best not to cut your stock harness because you could run into problems..... best just to sit in your car for an extra min after you get done driving with the car running all it does is let the turbo cool down if you have been pounding the **** out of it....... but thats just me

Yeah you can do that, but i find it very annoying to sit in the car for a minute especially on quick errands to walmart and such. Does anyone know if it's OK to not let the car idle if I never hit boost. I ask this since the turbo does still spool a lot even though you don't boost.

In any case for PA MATT just get a voltmeter and test out wires. That would be the easiest way. Currently I'm builing a turbo timer out of basic compents (resistors, capacitors, 555 cicuit chip). It cost about $10. If you want the schmatic I can give it to you. I even added a petentiometer so the idle time can be adjusted analogly. GL
