Try to find a wiring diagram and search for the wires you need.

But the turbo timer book should tell you what wires on the car you would need.

If you post the colors of the turbo timer harness and what wire it is suppose to go to then we could probably help you out. Most of your connections will just be to the wires going to the key cylinder. None of us will know the wires on your timer harness unless you tell us.

I understand that but it should still tell you things like needing an ignition wire and ETC.
Then you would look in the diagram for the wire you would need.

I eventually plan on adding one but not till I get a 19T turbo and get it in there.

They should have given you a paper that says something like Green goes to power source or something like that. That's what we need to know to tell you where it would go on the car.

I know that one wire will go to the brake light switch but only the book for the turbo timer will tell us what color from the harness that will be.

LOOK IN THE MANUAL, and tell us which wire is supposed to go to what, for example:
Red to battery
Green to Ignition Power
Blue to Parking Brake
White to Ignition Coil

then we can tell you where to locate each wire.

the book does not say anything about what colours wire goes where. and actually there its only 3 colors wires. red , green , blue and they dont say where thoise wires go. or even says what wire is power and what one is acc etc.
the book doesnt say much.

black wire goes to ecu ground , white wire goies to o2 and grey goes to e brake bround.
