real quick turbo timer question..

ok, I've got a greddy turbo timer with harness but no manual.. the wires coming from the turbo timer unit have been cut. There's a black, a red, a green and a blue wire. On the harness where it's suppose to plug in there's a red, a green, and a black w/ yellow stripe wire. Does the black ground, red go to red, green go to green and blue go to black w/ yellow stripe? Or am I in the wrong place?

I just wanna make sure b/c I just replaced my ecu and don't wanna mess anything up.. also is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks

does this help?

The colors do match up. I know my install looks like a mess. I only did it that way cause it's not going to be permanent.

Just re-read your post and it kind of sounds like you don't have the power harness that goes from the turbo timer to the ignition harness. The power harness is what you can see in my picture the black wire coming from it goes to a chassis ground, not the ignition harness. I'm going to pull my turbo timer out tonight (cause the alarm with built in timer is going in this weekend) and if no one has answered by then, I'll post good pics of how the harnesses plug into each other.

thanks, that does help b/c now I know that it's the power harness that's cut, I thought that was just part of the timer unit. Any idea how that power harness connects to the other one(the ignition harness?)

Thanks again for the help!

Awlright, I didn't pull my timer out but I did pull the wires out from under the dash and here's what I got for you. Red and green wires from the turbo timer connect to the red and green wires in the ignition harness. The blue wire from the timer connects to the black w/yellow stripe in the ignition harness. Then hook the solid black wire from the timer to a good chassis ground and you're in business. oh, and a note on the ignition harness....it can be plugged in backwards (crossed) but it won't hurt anything. If you hook it up backwards under the steering column, then the timer will turn off when you turn your key to off. Just swap the connectors under the column and it should work like a charm. Good luck.
