Turbo Timer install pics?

I have a greedy turbo timer that I got for free but it didn’t come with any instructions (English at least)

Iv read as many installs as I could find, but I cant find any that have an actual picture of where I plug the harness in, just descriptions

the problem with this is that the guy who had the car before me installed all kinds of crap that he took out before selling the car so wires go every which way and there are about a million connectors everywhere

if someone could please provide some pictures of an install and which plugs go where that would be very much appreciated

thanks

wow I didnt even notice there was a reply, thanks much for that

my harness that it came with plugs into the one connector that comes out of the TT but it has I think two or three connectors that come out of it. its in my car right now so Im not sure (uninstalled obviously) Ill go out and check it out
Ill look more closely on the right side as well because I think I was looking over on the left and just gor frustrated

ok that last post probably means about nothing to anyone....

I went out to my car to grab everything and this is what I see

out of the TT there is a 4 wire plug that connects to the one with the same colors and everything and converts it into a three plug and a ground
I also have a connector that connect to that and converts it into 4 separate plugs, each with 2 wires in the back (I wish I had a camera)

yours looks similar to if I only hook up the first part, is the second useless??

also the main thing is does anyone have a picture or description of where the plug in the pictures above eventually leads up to, because I still cant find it, and don’t want to just tear everything up

thanks again

isnt the second adapter wire make it so u can actually use the timer with your car? the plugs are different i believe so thats y u need it. of course, u dont "need" it 100%, u can just hook up the wires directly if u want.

the connector part on the car, i forget if it was connected to something before or not. i honestly forget if i had to disconect that connector or not. however, i remember that there were 2 connecters that the tt adapter would connect into and i wasnt sure which one it went into, but i figured it out after realizing only 1 worked. its right around the steering column, im sure closer to your keys. if u really want pics of everything, ill take them for u

and no out cars don’t NEED them, but sometimes they are convenient

I mostly just want it for when I’m late for work and flooring it the whole way there so I wont have to wait in the car, and can just run in...
